PROF. SAMUEL ADEDEJI DARAMOLA
Welcome to the Olusegun Obasanjo Leadership Institute, a hub for nurturing visionary leaders equipped with the skills and integrity to drive sustainable development across Africa and beyond.
Life is all about decision-making. What a person becomes is a direct result of the quality of decisions made in the past. Every organization—and indeed every nation—has the potential for outstanding comparative growth over others. It takes visionary leaders, capable of making sound and progressive decisions, to guide their followers to the promised land.
The aim of the Olusegun Obasanjo Leadership Institute is to produce such leaders—leaders who are capable of delivering impactful results. The cross-national, cross-cultural, and multi-disciplinary composition of our board members reflects the Institute’s mission to train leaders for all sectors of the economy, not only within Nigeria but across the globe.
To achieve this goal, the Institute has assembled a carefully selected team of international resource persons, each with a proven track record of outstanding leadership, to manage and deliver its programs.
Our curriculum is tailored to the practical realities of leadership training, while maintaining deep academic content. Participants will benefit from experiential knowledge shared by past and present tested leaders. This wealth of experience forms the bedrock of our training, ensuring impactful leadership development.
Our teaching modules emphasize a case-study approach and intensive practical sessions. In addition to lectures, seminars, presentations, and group discussions, participants will engage in extensive study visits, providing real-time exposure to contemporary leadership challenges. This hands-on experience will enable participants to gain a thorough understanding of leadership training and practice.
The quality of both our local and international resource personnel guarantees a secure future for our participants. We are committed to rediscovering the missing ingredients in leadership training and development, with the ultimate goal of improving quality of life and restoring human dignity.
It is, therefore, a privilege to be part of this esteemed team, dedicated to assisting the Olusegun Obasanjo Leadership Institute in producing “Leaders that Deliver.”
