After fifty-five years of Nigeria’s independence, many stakeholders
in the education sector have continued to express dissatisfaction that
the nation is still grappling with the teething problem of leadership,
which has unfortunately trapped the country as an under-developed
nation.
Worrisomely, Malaysia, Brazil and Singapore, which were peers to
Nigeria, have since left it behind in terms of right leadership and
development.
It’s against this backdrop, that coaching experts who spoke last Tuesday, in Lagos, at a Breakfast Seminar Agenda (BSA), organised by the International Coach Federation (ICF), Nigerian chapter, to commemorate the 2015 International Coaching Week, were pissed that Nigeria has over the years been frailed with under-development because of poor leadership.
Those who spoke at the event were the President, ICF-Nigeria, Ajibola Ponnle; Managing Director, Heineken/Nigerian Breweries, Nico Vervelde; Managing Partner, Corporate Engagement Services, Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (IPEC), USA, Zackarie Lemelle; Board member, ICF-Nigeria, Sochi Ilomechina; Business Result Coach, Olusola Lanre Coaching (OLCA), Bashir Muse; Lead Consultant/Coach, Blue Galaxy Consults, Funmilola Aje among others.
They particularly affirmed that if the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari is to get the leadership of this country aright, it must be passionate about ensuring it better the lots of Nigerians through its programmes and policies, adding that it must jettison the idea of being perfect and not open to learning new leadership ideas, which is unfortunately the stock-in-trade of most African leaders.
Earlier, Emechina, who spoke to Vanguard Learning disclosed that whilst the ICF was birthed in 1995, with over 25, 000 members globally, the Nigerian chapter was officially launched on May 7, 2015 by 10 Board members, who are certified coaches, adding that the breakfast seminar is aimed at introducing the ICF to Nigerians, enlightening them on what coaching is and what it’s not.
Speaking, at the event, Lemelle, the Keynote Speaker, who harped on the need for Nigerian and African leaders to embrace coaching programmes in order to bring about even development to their citizens said: “I think the programme is good for Nigeria, particularly as the country is embracing change of leadership.
This programme can transform Nigerian people, businesses, leadership. Nigerians must understand the major roles and power coaches have in transforming their lives. I want to see the kind of leadership structure already in place in the US, Europe here in Africa and Nigeria.
