He also acknowledged the dedication of the dinner planning committee and the chapter’s executive for organising the event and thanked the sponsors and members for their support.

In his guest lecture, Prof. Zakaree Saheed, the director, Directorate of General Studies at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, called for the application of strategic management expertise to address Nigeria’s persistent socio-economic challenges.

Saheed said Nigeria has vast resources but noted the country’s struggles with infrastructure, unemployment, poverty, insecurity and political instability. He emphasised that a strategic application of management expertise organising, coordinating and optimising resources were keys to overcoming these challenges.

“Nigeria remains the largest economy in Africa, endowed with significant natural and human resources. Yet, it continues to grapple with inadequate infrastructure, low industrial productivity, and challenging business environments.

The country faces multifaceted socio-economic issues, including high unemployment, deficits in education, rising poverty, and insecurity stemming from insurgency and poor governance.

“These problems erode public confidence and economic stability, further compounded by political instability, which creates a climate of uncertainty for policymakers, businesses, and individuals.

“We need to address the root causes of these problems before we can find lasting solutions. This requires a strategic application of management expertise to navigate a sustainable path forward. By management expertise, I mean the ability to organize, coordinate, and optimize resources to achieve desired outcomes.

“I believe that a clearly defined vision and mission form the foundation of policy formation and the establishment of a national agenda. If we know what we want whether it is to become a technology-driven society, an educational hub, or an agricultural powerhouse—based on that, we can establish a national agenda,” he said.

Saheed also advocated for vocational training and entrepreneurship within the education system, suggesting that schools reintegrate hands-on projects like farming and home economics.

“Reforming the educational curriculum to align with industrial needs is crucial. There should be a paradigm shift from teaching entrepreneurship as a subject to producing entrepreneurs. Schools should focus not only on teaching entrepreneurship but also on creating an entrepreneurial culture. Let school principals return to the days when schools had their own farms,” he added.
