1.2 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM:
The problem of leadership and its
pervasive bearing on social cum economic development in Nigeria is
multifaceted. Now, the root cause of the Nigerian problem is attributed
to bad leadership. There is nothing basically wrong with the Nigerian
character. There is nothing wrong with the Nigerian land, climate,
water, air, or anything else. The Nigerian problem is the unwillingness
or inability of its leaders to rise to their responsibility, to the
challenge of personal example, which is the hallmark of true leadership.
Developmental
research indicates that Nigeria is fraught of poor leadership,
corruption and weak bureaucratic institutions. It is an axiom that since
attainment of political independent, Nigeria has never been governed by
selfless, truly transformational and intellectually endowed leaders.
That is, Nigeria has never selected its best sons to positions of
leadership and mediocre leadership can only lead to mediocre government
without any serious achievement.
Moreover what has been common over
the years in Nigeria governance is the enthronement of clueless,
parochial, attitudinal debauchery and uninspiring leaders, with
attendant formulation of series of ill-informed and poorly implemented
policies leading to the exit of dedicated, competent bureaucrats and
provided incentives for corruption. Competent and morally upright
leadership engenders strong bureaucratic institutions. The success or
failure of any society depends largely on the attitude and competency of
its leadership. Nigerian leadership suffers from extreme moral
depravity and attitudinal debauchery. Hence, the need to investigate the
effect of Leadership and Development Crisis in Nigeria becomes
sacrosanct.
