Nigeria Needs Next Generation Leaders – Educationist

Moshood Bello, Guest Lecturer

Nigeria’s goal to industrialize and achieve its vision lies in the empowerment of the youths.

An entrepreneurial researcher at the University of Salford, Manchester, Mr. Bello Moshood stated this on Sunday in Lagos at the annual reportorial conference of the Muslim Students’ Society of Nigeria, Lagos State Area Unit.

Bello challenged participants at the conference with the theme, ‘Good people, good managers, good leaders,’ to develop themselves on leadership skills for them to move the nation forward when opportunity to serve comes.

According to him, “Nigeria needs a set of new generation leaders who are economically and morally upright for the nation to move forward.”

Also the Amir (President) of the society, Kaamil Kalejaiye charged members to have a change of attitude if truly they want to be good managers.

He emphasized the need for Nigerian youths to redefine what their roles are in Nation building, making reference to countries like United Arab Emirates, Sweden and Brazil where youths are regarded as pivot point.
