EKITI State governor, Mr ‘Biodun Oyebanji; founder and chief executive of the Chair Centre, Mrs Ibukun Awosika, and others have been billed to grace the 11th Annual Public Lecture holding, at National Headquarters Church, Alagomeji, Yaba, Lagos.
The lecture with the theme: “Leadership in Nigeria and its Impact on The Next Generation” will bring together clerics, diplomats, government officials, youth leaders, students, and civil society organizations.
The General Overseer of the Foursquare Gospel Church In Nigeria, Reverend (Dr) Sam Aboyeji made this known during a press conference held at the national headquarters of the church.
According to the GO, this year’s public lecture forms part of the activities preceding the 69th annual national convention of the church between November 11 to 17 at the Foursquare Campground, Ajebo, Ogun State.
He said that the choice of the theme of the programme was predicated on the fact that the success or failure of any institution or organisation is determined by the strength of its leadership and the governance system in operation.
“Strong and true leadership are required for success in any entity. Renowned leadership expert John C. Maxwell put it succinctly: “Everything rises and falls on leadership,” Aboyeji said.
“In our world today, the lack of authentic and charismatic leadership has left us with loss of influence, resulting in poor performance even in the face of enormous resources as well as plentiful and unprecedented opportunities,” he added.
