Future Leaders Seminar

The Nigeria Leadership Initiative’s Future Leaders Class powered by First Bank of Nigeria Plc is held in May and October each year for emerging public and private sector leaders aged 25 to 35 years and based in Nigeria or the Diaspora. Each class has 3-Day residential seminar sessions capped by a Dinner and the Launch of Class Projects by the seminar participants. At the end of each session, the participants become Associates of NLI. There are currently 247 NLI Associates in Nigeria and in the Diaspora.

The seminar readings and discussion formats allow and encourage the participants to deeply reflect on themselves, the root of their values, what influences their styles of leadership and what changes (if any) need to be made in leadership styles that will be for the greater good. Some of the sessions sub topics address: The Good Society, The Nigerian History and Constitution, Challenge of Leadership, Community and Efficiency, Liberty and Equality and Nigeria, Governance and Values.

The Future Leaders Seminar was designed to define the mission of the Nigeria Leadership Initiative (NLI) by creating a growing, global network of credible, accomplished community-spirited Nigerian leaders, committed to taking responsibility for driving positive change in Nigeria and Nigerian communities.

First Bank of Nigeria Plc is committed to sponsoring the Future Leaders Seminar.

Testimonials

The Nigerian Leadership Initiative is a very strategic programmes that is capable of triggering change in definite and measurable ways in our land. Beyond providing a platform for action-provoking reflections on the way forward for Nigeria, it is also at the forefront of bringing together the finest of minds in the country and the diaspora, for the undisguised purpose of spurring young men and women of competence, passion and character into the sort of action that will re-write the history of their native land.

NLI has created a new belief that change is near. Nigeria has reached its tipping point and the era of accountability and action has arrived. The message from ‘thought to action’ which NLI preaches lays a foundation for future thought leaders to thrive in a Nigerian society riddled with failed hopes. The future of Nigeria depends on identifying these thought leaders. NLI is at the forefront of the campaign to find these leaders and ensure that they engage with each other.
