THE NEXUS BETWEEN EDUCATION AND EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA
Studies have shown that effective leaders see all experiences as learning experiences. And, with that, they are able to build a sustainable development. As such, it becomes evident that education is a catalyst for development. This further points to the fact that effective leaders never stop learning. Sustainable development is “the development that meets needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own need development.” This work hopes to discuss the necessary connection between education and effective leadership and their role in building sustainable development with Nigeria as the case study, using expository, analytic and critical evaluative method. This work concludes that the quest to build a sustainable development, a robust and peaceful economic nation and a well-governed nation, the educational sector is, no doubt, the perfect foundation stone as it instills into individuals, from young lings, the necessary steps and precautions to arrive at this feat.
