HIGH EXPECTATIONS FROM THE LEADERSHIP

#corporateleaders   

Ikechukwu Odoemelam Esq    

Section 50(1) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria as amended prescribe: “There shall be: (a) a President and a Deputy President of the Senate, who shall be elected by the members of that House from among themselves”

Nominations must consider the rankings of the senators. Certainly the longer and experience their services the more attractive and likely to be nominated.

It's therefore not surprising that  Orji Uzor Kalu, South East Godswill Akpabio South-South, were  among the leading contenders for the position. Finally, Akpabio won.

As Akpabio becomes President of the 10th Senate expectations are high about his leadership style and priorities on burning issues of the moment.

His eligibility was obvious and was almost taken for granted, having been previously elected to the Red chambers and served as minority leader.

Before that he had served at various leadership positions. He'd be bringing the leadership skills of former student leader, councilor, chairman, governor, and Minister for Nigeria Delta.

In his acceptance speech, he left no one in doubt that about his inclusive leadership style. His loyalty to the President was equally made known.

Some of the burning issues Akpabio-led National Assembly urgently have to tackle through legislation include security, EFCC, economy etc. He acknowledged that the economy requires 'renewal and revitalization'.

He needs to assure Nigerians that he would not repeat the negative version of the erstlwhile  Ahmad Lawan-led 9th senate.

Having yearned for good and development-oriented leadership since the return of civil rule in 1999, Nigerians have high leadership expectations from the 10th National Assembly.

FUEL CRISIS: WHICH WAY NIGERIA?

#corporateleaders

FUEL CRISIS: WHICH WAY NIGERIA?

On the one hand Nigeria's energy policy requires government to ensure access to energy and it's supply, on the other hand it calls govt to use energy to develop the economy.  See National Energy Requirements Responsibility Act.

The compliance guidelines on Petroleum Industry Act 2021 reveal new legal and governance changes in oil and gas industry, such that makes it difficult for decisions to be taken without consultation with stakeholders.

Yet government is expected to implement the provisions of the Act so as to transform the industry and enable complete deregulated upstream and downstream sectors.

NNPC NEW Private Company was  unveiled on 19th July, 2022 by PMB, amidst incomniums poured on the expectations of the 'new company '. One such expectation is deregularizatioin.

Therefore when the President declared 'fuel subsidy gone', it was in the direction of deregularizatioin.  Hoarding and price hikes had sent pandamonium across the country.  Consequently NLC had to declare nationwide strike to protest the fuel hike.

Like economists would say buyers and sellers commenced the new regime with abnormal profits which is only ephemeral.

The next level would be supply of fuel from any available source provided it makes economic sense. Then in the interim with abundant supply the abnormal profits would disappeared. Normal and stable price would be established by the price system..

The damage (both political and economic) would have been done before sanity returns.

NEW LEADERSHIP AGENDA MONDAY

NEW LEADERSHIP AGENDA MONDAY

 #corporateleaders #digitaleducation

Today is national inauguration day across Nigeria. It's a day electorates, politicians and indeed citizens drop their guntlets till the next four years; in hope or despair.

The economic dividends and welfare of the people are always the bone of contention whatever the political nomenclature. In this regard Nigeria reportedly became the fastest in digital evolution in Africa.

It started with the coming into effect of Nigeria Start-ups Act 2022 earlier.  The object of the Act is to enhance innovations and creativity.  Everyone has something to benefit from the Act.  Think about digitalized professionalism.

Reports say it's the largest Digital Economy in Africa. Of course it should, going by population and size of Nigeria's economy, as well as the depth of digital connectivity.

Digital Economy Industry Working group (DEIWG) has been inauguarated. The purpose of the the platform is to instigate public-private dialogue.

Thereafter Lectures were organized to dissect the scheme and generate ideas for successful implementation. You need to search for the resources and you'd see that so much is in stock for the public, especially entrepreneurs.

For those in Advanced Digital Content Creation, it would be a field day.  Common pools of legal resources would no longer be for high profile law firms and businesses only.

Right now construction of Digital Economy complex that would house Nigeria Start-ups is on the way ..   and speedily too.

The wake up call is for every digital minded people and entrepreneurs to start taking advantage of the provisions of the Act. 

Start-ups create employment and investment opportunities. Expectations on investment could become real if the Start-ups are purpose-driven. Their existence, products and services must serve needs beyond statlkeholders. *Purpose is defined thus: people+planet+profit.*

A very good and valuable opportunity if you ask me. 

That's why at IDEA WORKSHOP we've arranged basic digital Start-up skills that beginners would use as foundation for a meaningful online business adventure.

Stop procrastinating, reality is inside of you. Just say you can.

Our mission is to provide the opportunity for you to start implementing those ideas you've been nursing without results.

GLOOMY, SCARY AND UNPREDICTABLE FUTURE

This episode was half way when I was struck by sudden ill-health... now recovering at God's speed.

Right and wrong decisions are based on resources and information at your disposal, right?

What if you garner vital resources from messages and digital gifts we serve on this platform, and suddenly it becomes extinct.  Wouldn't that affect your decisions? Maybe.

We thank  you for the loads of 'likes'. However, your feedback about the quality and social value of our messages is ABSOLUTELY important to us.  

We'd be delighted to receive your comments: approve or not approve whichever is welcome.

.......

Over the last couple of days energy crisis in Europe has worsened due to the escalated war in Ukraine. 

As was expected, the economic impact multiplied globally giving rise to high cost of living and hunger in Africa and especially Nigeria, as a result of food shortages. 

Clips from the 2022 G20 meeting in Indonesia, paints a picture of imminent catostrophy across the world, unless stringent actions are taken urgently.

Leaders of the group prescribed: "recover together, recover stronger" as a global solution.

But how could that happen as situations worsen. Rather than recovering:

Nigeria's inflation rate has been on steady increase too, since 2020 according to the report of National Bureau of Statistics.

Nigeria has become world capital of poverty, a position prior held by India. Now, 133 million Nigerians are in the bracket of "Multi-dimensional Poor."

Mortgages and share prices are crumbling to level of its comparison with 2008 global economic melt-down.

Education sector is crumbling with no solution in sight. It is so scary that the Education Committee of  UN at the last UNGA77 raised alarm with a call to action.  

"A silent learning crisis is unfolding that has become devastating shock to human capital. ... We urge you the world leaders, to meet this head-on and act to improve learning outcomes for the world".

Our mission on this platform is to propound ideas that provide solutions and move our projects to the next level.

What's your take and approach to excel?

"HOW NOT TO LOOSE YOUR DWELLING HOUSE AFTER 25 YEARS"

is a Report to guide you to become an owner occupier from 2023 rather than remain/live as tenant for life.

We invite everyone passionate about innovations and prosperous ideas to quickly join our group to get the report.

With gratitude.

SKILLS ACQUISITION TRAINING

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) contributes to the growth of prosperity. It serves to promote healthy and socially responsible causes that impact positively.

Recently due to ailing economy and resultant hardship, politicians and public figures have come under intense pressure to assist their constituencies and communities. Of course by the nature of public offices they occupy, they're morally obliged to notice the underprivileged, indigent and dilapidating environment and take action.

How they respond depends on who they are; nature of services they render to the people and mindset.  Very often the temptations to respond through cash donations or promissory notes become irrisistible. Yet, some public officers who have aides get over some of these public relations engagement with the communities in different ways.

One of the various engagements is occasionally organising empowerment skills acquisition training for selected groups across the community.

You can leverage on our  Skills Acquisition Training Program to empower the youth, unemployed persons and retrain already working people in your constituencies/communities. Your benefits are innumerable.

Let's start with visibility. The nature of services public officers render, their venue and personalities remain opaque to some huge percentage of his/her constituents. That doesn't help loyalty, comradeship, trust and brand identity building. All that change with the launch of our training program.

The other benefit which cash donations alone cannot replace is the fact that training is seed sowing with unlimited quantity ahead. Whereas cash donations shared by few hundreds or thousands are usually for economic relief and consumption.

CONSTITUENT PROJECTS

Honourable, pause a minute to take a retrospection of various celebrations you've had: birthdays, anniversaries, thanksgivings etc. Did you consider using any of those past occasions to promote CSR? If you did the benefits would have been yours.

Now that you've gotten ideas next time you're going to engage in any or all of those activities you may wish to secure our services. It's pretty affordable because we also serve communities in one way or the other.

THE FUTURE AND YOUR VISION

Your ideas about how you would be in the future is your vision. It's often the best one would wish him or herself.

About this time of the year we begin to take stock of our activities and results so far and adjust here and there.

Call it decision, guide or resolution, whatever you may call it, the purpose is to be properly directed for a desired result.

A humble beginning like most of us have is just a stepping stone. To continue on that level, to say the least is not being ambitious. 

Who among you now a tenant wants to remain so for life? If it doesn't cost anything to dream, no one would choose to remain at the 'humble beginning' level for life.

That inert desire humans have for better tomorrow is the reason why you're reading this business message. Here's a report:

HOW NOT TO LOOSE YOUR DWELLING HOUSE AFTER 25 YEARS is a Report to guide you to become an owner occupier, from 2023 rather than remain/live as tenant for life.

We invite everyone passionate about innovations and prosperous ideas to quickly join our group to get the report.

https://facebook.com/groups/333916450787927/

Or DM us indicating interest to receive the report.

Getting better daily is our mission. 

The internet is like a big ocean. Swimming, surfing, fishing etc - these activities unguided may lead to wasteful soujourn.

Thanks.

PUTTING OUR ACTIVITIES IN PERSPECTIVE

We warmly welcome those of you that have just joined. 

We also welcome your introduction and comments.

We're gradually approaching the end of the year when we 

take stock of our activIties and mission during the year. 

From online mentor, Matt Maurice quoting another 

mentor on the need to ask stock-taking question more 

frequently suggests this apt question: 

"If every person in my organization personally 

produced at the level I personally produced at 

this month, would my team be exploding with 

growth?"

If the answer is no, you have only one person to blame for your team’s lack of duplication - you!"

I tried the question and in all honesty felt ashamed.

Wait a minute...

We started with Workshop titled "Overcoming Common Challenges in Business Environment"

And discussed:

1. Capital formation

2. Resources/Raw materials

3. Record keeping

4. Infrastructural base

5. Training - Publishing

6. Compliance with regulatory authorities

The workshop, even though poorly attended was for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).

According to a statistical analysis SMEs form the backbone of Nigeria economy by generating about 96% of businesses in the economy.

The secret of efficient management of SMEs according to Eric Uwaoma, director Enterprise segment, Etisalat Nigeria is networking of IDEAS.

In line with networking of ideas we intensified the campaign online and just picking up as the year ends.

The challenge now is to ensure that the period between now and the end of the year positive trends would climax our training for 2023.

The part you'd play to make this aspiration realizable cannot be overemphasized.

Your inquiries are welcome. DM as soon as possible as a new batch of training commences very soon.

Your success.
