Professor Jerry Gana, a former Minister of Information and National Orientation, has attributed Nigeria's persistent problems to a lack of quality leadership. Speaking at the 2025 reunion of the Northern States Christian Elders Forum (NOSCEF) in Kaduna, Gana emphasized that the country's future depends on leaders with character, integrity, and competence.
Gana lamented that Nigeria's current challenges are a direct result of the absence of visionary and competent leaders. He stressed that leaders are not born by accident but are deliberately raised through training and mentorship. According to him, Nigeria's future hinges on men and women who can provide purposeful direction for the country at all levels of government.
The former minister urged political and church leaders to invest in raising high-quality leaders who can drive the country's development. He emphasized the importance of merit-based leadership selection, particularly ahead of the 2027 general elections. Gana also called on Nigerians to demand quality leadership from their leaders and hold them accountable for their actions.
As a chieftain of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Gana stated that his party prioritizes excellence in leadership selection. He urged Nigerians to pray for wise and capable leaders, citing the importance of leadership in national transformation and prosperity.
Gana emphasized the critical role Christian elders play in shaping the country's leadership. He urged them to support the process of raising credible leaders who can provide visionary leadership and drive the country's development.
Gana's statement highlights the need for quality leadership in Nigeria. With the country's future hanging in the balance, it is essential for Nigerians to demand leaders who are committed to serving the country and promoting its development. By prioritizing merit and character in leadership selection, Nigeria can take a significant step towards solving its problems and achieving sustainable development.
