Set to take place in Abuja, the event aims to provide a platform for dialogue between seasoned leaders and emerging influencers. Organisers say the presence of high-profile figures like Osinbajo, Sanusi, Otti and Kalu underscores the importance of leadership in shaping Nigeria’s future.
Yemi Osinbajo is expected to speak on national leadership and inclusive governance, drawing on his experience as vice president and involvement in policy reform. Lamido Sanusi will share his perspectives on financial governance, economic stability and institutional reform from his time at the Central Bank.
Alex Otti, with his experience as a state governor, will speak on sub-national leadership, innovation in governance and service delivery at the state level. Orji Kalu is slated to bring insights from both his executive and legislative roles, highlighting the interplay between governance, business and politics.
The conference organisers indicate that the event will feature plenary sessions, panel discussions and networking opportunities, allowing attendees to engage directly with the speakers. Themes will include leadership ethics, economic resilience, state-based governance and youth engagement in leadership.
With the leadership conference drawing prominent Nigerian public figures, it is being seen as a timely intervention amid global and local leadership challenges. Stakeholders say the event may catalyse new ideas and collaborations to spur national and regional development efforts in Nigeria.
