Governance Buhari's Way

THE BOOK: This book is not a disqualification of the struggle for one Nigeria, but a scholarly composition about the misapplication of leadership in the executive structure: a paradigmatic appraisal of the Nigerian President, of this ex-dictator's temperament and his leadership philosophies, and how deceptively and thoughtlessly he might punctuate a hard-fought progress Nigeria has made in attaining a united nation. THE PLAYER: Traumatized by the intricacies of an unfulfilled dream of Islamic statehood, a former dictator Muhammadu Buhari, for a second time, has swaggered into the leadership suite of Africa's most populous country with three categories of followers: fanatics who worship him; cohorts who think they understand him; and underhanded politicians who have lied that they know him. Could an alliance between this autocrat and a team of incompatible cohorts inspire progressive change? CONCEPTS and THEORIES: In a complex economy, installing a leader without relevant skills is like hiring a tailor to an Intensive Care Unit to perform surgery, just because he can handle needle and thread. Contemporary leaders are equipped with transformational competencies, including knowledge and skills, personality values, confidence, expertise, influence strategies, and essential behaviors to accomplish tasks and overcome fundamental challenges in modern leadership. How does President Buhari's ideology harmonize the relevant concepts and theories about change management? This book explains Nigeria's dysfunctional system while it also explores some applicable concepts to deliver a framework for effective management of the nation, its people, and its resources. In this book, leadership and management scholar, Dr. Anthony Obi Ogbo explains Nigeria's dysfunctional system while he also explores some applicable concepts to deliver a framework for effective management of the nation, its people, and its resources.
