Obasanjo, Jonathan to talk on leadership at summit

He stated that Obasanjo would preside over the five-day ABLI conference with the theme “Value-Based Leadership: Model for Africa”, scheduled to take place from October 21 to 24, 2024, at the Nigerian Air Force Conference Centre in Abuja.

ABLI Forum is apolitical and non-denominational and seeks to bring about personal and cultural transformation through leadership that is informed and guided by biblical values.

The ABLI conference has been held in 10 different African countries, and Nigeria is the host for the 11th edition.

“The African continent is in dire straits. Africa is considered the least developed and the poorest continent in the world. How did we get there? The bane of the continent has been poor leadership, greed, corruption, and mismanagement.

“According to the United Nations, the least developed countries host about 40 per cent of the world’s poor and account for 13 per cent of the world’s population. Out of the 45 least developed countries listed by the United Nations, over 31 of them are in Africa.
