LEADERSHIP AND THE CHALLENGES IN NIGERIA: AN ASSESSMENT OF PRESIDENT GOODLUCK EBELE JONATHAN ADMINISTRATIVE STYLE

Abstract

Leadership crises coupled with policy inconsistency and summersault are no doubt serious problems confronting Nigeria and Africa. In the case of Nigeria, several policies, political and constitutional reforms and conferences have been put in place by previous regimes in order to address the question of leadership, development and good governance in Nigeria. The findings in this study revealed that apart from the ongoing National Conference in Nigeria, several other conferences including the 2005 National Political Reform Conference have taken place in Nigeria. The study also shows that the structure, composition, and national spread of delegates at the on-going National Conference make the issue of consensus-building not only imperative but fundamental. Further findings and investigations also show that Nigerians from all walks of life are represented in the 2014 National Conference hence; there is the tendency that the Conference and its delegates will address critical national issues through consensus-building and alliance formation. A careful study of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan’s inaugural speech at the National Conference clearly indicate that the persuasive and patriotic elements in the speech has the capacity and potential to propel and motivate delegates at the conference to promote the national interest of the nation (Nigeria) above their personal, sectional and parochial interests. However, the post-behavioural approach was applied in explaining and analyzing the subject-matter. In terms of methodology and scope, descriptive analysis and secondary sources of data (textbooks published articles, journals and internet materials) were relied upon. Despite the socio-economic and political challenges facing Nigeria, the paper posits that Nigeria and Africa can surmount its problems if political leaders and followers discard all forms of prependal politics and primitive accumulation of wealth. Equitable distribution of resources, a balanced intellectual and social development should also be promoted and accorded top priority in the process of policy formulation and implementation in Nigeria and indeed Africa.
