| dc.description.abstract | Within the agora of human endeavour, be it in the home, corporate, religious and national setting, leadership is the pivot. This paper sets to examine 'A moral solution to the leadership problem in Nigeria'. It has been established by great minds that the greatest problem of human kind is leadership. The same leadership problem has been the undoing of the Nigerian nation since independence. Leadership in Nigeria is bereft of leadership qualities, a bastardisation of revered tradition, convention and culture. Therefore, in this piece it looks at the leadership in Nigeria and the moral questions affixed to its matrix. The paper adopted descriptive and qualitative methods by exploring secondary data collected from documentations through published and unpublished books and journal articles and were content analysed in relation to the scope of the paper. The findings reveal that the style of leadership in Nigeria is appalling and troubling because of the main reasons of assuming leadership position is selfish interests and self enrichment which has notoriously led to the consistent failure of democracy and economic retardation. Hence, the need for leaders to cultivate moral character, piety, human-heartedness, self discipline, listening ear and selfless service to humanity that would eventually approximate to national development. | |
