THE IMPERATIVE OF “SERVANT LEADERSHIP” IN NIGERIA

Celestine Chibueze Uzondu, PhD
Abstract

Nigeria as an independent country is endowed with immense natural and human resources capable of transforming it into a leading democratic and prosperous country second to none in Africa. But more than six decades after independence, it is lagging behind other African countries in all indices of socioeconomic development due to greedy and corrupt leadership which has become the bane of Nigerian politics. This essay analyses the problem of greedy and corrupt leadership in Nigeria and prescribes the principle of “servant leadership” personified by Jesus Christ as the antidote to the Nigerian political malaise
