Leadership development skills: a Nigeria educational institutions review

One who desires leadership is a good thing. However, getting the leadership position is not just enough. The real challenge is getting the leadership developed and leadership tasks accomplished in the proper way with the aim of bringing positive development to the people being led. Nigeria is certainly blessed with rich human and natural resources and should stand out among the nations. However, that is not fit with current condition in Nigeria, all because many of those saddled with the responsibility of leadership are not living up the expectation. Adopting the leadership styles of some developed countries into Nigeria school system is apparently not enough to achieve good leadership in Nigerian educational institutions. This paper therefore, focus on the leadership development of school administrators in Nigeria. Leadership is a skill so we need to teach it to our students, only then can we produce leaders who will have a potential to bring about a change in Nigerian educational institutions.
