In addition, it stated “Africa is widely believed to have suffered from ineffective leadership, a trend that has persisted for decades, hampering the general development of the resource-rich continent. Adding to this challenge is the crippling debt profile the continent has faced, exacerbated by foreign loans sometimes disguised as aid from Western and Asian countries. These issues are often attributed to leadership failures and inability to prudently manage the vast mineral resources available in many African nations,” it added.

GOTNI Leadership Centre has been at the forefront of training leaders from both public and private sectors to effectively carry out the mandates of their organizations.
