Ezekwesili’s Group To Bridge Gap In Good Governance In Africa

Convener/chair of FixPolitics and founder, the School of Politics, Policy and Governance (SPPG), Dr Obiageli Ezekwesil has said that with the growing needs around Africa for quality leadership particularly in Nigeria, the SPPG is determined to bridge the gaps experienced in these areas with a well-tailored curriculum for African students with a global perspective.

The SPPG is an unconventional school of the research-anchored #FixPolitics initiative that is designed to transform the quality of political and public leadership in Nigeria and the rest of Africa. The SPPG has a continental focus and commenced in Nigeria in 2020 with expansion plans into Senegal in 2023, as the step before six other countries.

This innovative leadership school is invested in developing a massive pipeline of value-based and disruptive thinking political-class equipped with the requisite knowledge, skills, and mindset to solve complex leadership problems to reposition Africa in the 21st Century.

Ezekwesili, who disclosed this, said the world needs Africa and Africa needs the world, adding that the existing multilateral order is broken and must be urgently fixed so that the world can make critical decisions and take the right actions on issues that affect us all.

Ezekwesili said, “Africa must be at the center of the conversations on global governance, economic growth, poverty and inequality, climate change, disruptive technologies and related issues of human and social development. The world will do better with Africa actively at the table of the redesign of today’s global architecture for a future that provides equal opportunity for everyone anywhere to excel.”

To be ready for this, the founder said Africa needs disruptive leaders who are constantly invested in finding better solutions to problems of their communities, countries and the world. “The SPPG is where we are raising the ethical, competent and capable disruptive leaders for an Africa that sits at the global table of decision. And we are doing so, one leader at a time in significant numbers,” Ezekwesili revealed.
