According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel Management of Nigeria, Nigeria has suffered from a leadership deficit over the years.

The body stated that the country now required sincere leaders who would lead her to the Promised Land.

Mr. Olusegun Mojeed, President and Chairman of the Governing Council of the CIPM, stated this to reporters on the sidelines of the body’s 54th Conference and Exhibition in Port Harcourt, themed ‘Leading People, Growing Nations.’

According to Mojeed, as human resource managers, the institute develops people who will help the nation grow.

“Leading people is very important,” he said. People who will lead the nation will be led first and foremost, and they must be willing to be led.

“If people are not willing to surrender themselves to tutelage, because if people are not willing to obey simple rules and regulations, leading also will be difficult, cause we cannot keep talking about leadership without followership.

“When people subject themselves to grooming and being led, such people are now empowered to grow the nation.

“We have had leadership deficits and it did not start in 2015, it started long ago. We need people who will be sincere in developing this nation, that’s why at CIPM we want to add our own quota to that bid.”

Speaking earlier at the conference, Edo State Head of Service, Anthony Okunbowa, who represented Governor Godwin Obaseki, assured of his willingness to partner with CIPM on nation-building.

The King of Upata Kingdom, Ahoada East, King Felix Otuwarikpo, urged CIPM to enlist tradition in nation-building since they were also managing people in their various kingdoms.

The monarch said, “It is time for you to consider enlisting traditional rulers, we are also managing humans in our various kingdoms.
