In a statement on Thursday, Alero Ayida-Otobo, chief executive officer of SPPG, said “The school aims to transform politics in Africa as part of the values of the #FixPolitics Initiative. The institute intends to create a massive base of a new value-based and disruptive-thinking political class with the knowledge and skills to effectively lead.
“It is also guided by values such as accountability, respect and tolerance, stewardship and responsibility, social justice and inclusiveness, ethical leadership, a moral compass founded on integrity and honesty, as well as adherence to the rule of law.
“Despite its wealth of human and natural resources, Africa continues to lag behind other regions of the world in the most objective and measurable indicators of human and economic development.”
The statement quoted Ezekwesili as saying that the school is “a top-notch learning institution, developing fresh perspectives on enhancing Nigeria’s value systems, empowering the electorate and changing the country’s political, constitutional and electoral landscape.”
The school, she added, educates citizens to become dignified and responsible leaders determined to work towards the development of the country.
“We are training a cadre of leaders on our continent that are going to have dignity in themselves and a sense of value, where they are not subordinating the public good for self-interest. We are addressing the mindset shift; that is the kind of curriculum we are delivering,” she added.
