Discussants at the MBA Ameen Resource Center at the Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat, Lagos have called for the introduction of leadership training into the school’s curriculum for Nigeria to have visionary and resourceful leaders.
Rising from a day policy dialogue on the removal of fuel subsidy and the leadership question entitled: “The Islamic perspective”, the speakers observed that the president demonstrated lack of insensitivity to the plight of Nigerians for removing the oil subsidy at that particular time, as discussions on the issue were ongoing.
According to them, the “timing was inappropriate, needleless and a callous act meant to punish the people rather that addressing corruption in the oil subsidy saga.”
Robiu Uthman, said leadership entailed being sensitive to the plight of the people in the formulation of policies that would add value to the lives of Nigerians. He also stated that a good leader must be ready to listen to the yearnings and aspirations of the citizens.
Missioner Uthman explained that under an Islamic system, the leader must listen to suggestions from the people through a consultative assembly-the Shoora.
Going by the revelations from the oil subsidy probe, Personal Assistant to the Lagos State Commissioner for Transport, Shina Loremikan submitted that government could only restore confidence in Nigerians, if it sanctions officials and oil contractors indicted in the fuel subsidy probe.
