The Strategic Leadership in Evolving Environment Coordinator at Kings College London, Professor Abiodun Alao, has emphasised the necessity of enhancing collaborative capacities to ensure that Nigeria becomes significantly more secure than it has historically been.
The Programme coordinator, Professor Alao, made this known during the opening ceremony of Strategic Leadership in Evolving Environment, Phase 11/2024 in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.
He said that “there is a leadership dimension to everything whether it’s a problem or not is a different thing and that’s what they are looking at.”
He added that the gap between leadership and security is also the gap between humanity and existence and that’s what they are doing and that’s what they are trying to address, they study it, they analyze it, and they discuss it.
The Director General, Nigerian Army Resource Centre, Major General Garba Wahab (retd), said because challenges will always change, mutate, evolve, leadership is about decision-making.
He said that “the need to take decisions for everything that happens and that’s why they emphasize leadership at the Centre, not just for those at the top, but even the single soldier or the single individual in the street.”
“If he knows what to do and you’re ready to do it, I think things will be better and that’s the emphasis they are laying for everybody who comes to the Centre, so, in essence, you must take responsibility,” he added.
