The Leadership Institute is the premier institution in Africa solely established for training of model leaders in all walks of life to lead Africa to development. It was established in Nigeria in 2000 AD as a not for profit organization in response to Africa’s greatest need – leadership. In an increasingly complex and multi-layered multi-faceted world the way to Africa’s prosperity and development is to improve the quality of leadership to combat the leadership deficit. Africa needs leaders who are not products of accidents, circumstances and situations. The institute is a laboratory for the production of new, model leaders who are produced intentionally through a process of education to acquire purpose, principles and skills. The Institute requires partners and members throughout the world and volunteers to participate in the programs to create new leaders who can take advantage of the many assets of Africa and turn them into blessings to improve the quality of life of the people. The Institute hopes to train leaders with ability to deliver change and who understand the problems of Africa and how to solve them. These leaders are already emerging and they will be transformational, servant, reformists, game-changing, selfless, and exemplary leaders.
