Alumni launch leadership programme for Kogi college
St. Augustine’s College, Kabba, Old Boys’ Foundation (SACKOBF) has launched a leadership training programme for students and staff of the learning institution to make them global leaders worthy of character and integrity.
The Committee Chairman, Francis Onaiyekan, during an opening address, said the foundation took the step to raise leaders with good character and integrity, noting that the number one problem of the world today was the lack of credible leadership.
According to him, the training, which is in collaboration with the John C. Maxwell Leadership Foundation (iLead), was to inculcate the right leadership traits in the children at a very tender age to enable them to fit properly into leadership positions at different levels in future.
Onaiyekan, a 1973 graduate of the college and an Editorial Board member of The Guardian, observed that their intervention as alumni was to restore the glory of their alma mater.
“The sole aim of our group is to raise future leaders that are good in both learning and character. As we can see, the number one problem of the world today is poor leadership. Once the leadership is good, every other thing will fall in place. No one can make a good leader without character and integrity. This is what the world is lacking today,” he said.
The alumnus submitted that the foundation, which was registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on August 21, 2023, has been able to provide various interventions in the college.
Speaking also, the principal of the college, Femi Emmanuel Abolusoro, commended the foundation for its various interventions which have improved the quality of learning in the school.
In their separate speeches, the Chairman of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and coordinator of the leadership training, Osamola Emmanuel, and Mrs Titilayo Olaosebikan, called on other prosperous alumni public-spirited individuals to emulate the foundation.
