Nigerian leaders and stakeholders in the country has been called to have a change in their mindset to attain a meaning progress in both public and private sectors in the country.
The Centre for Attitudinal Change at a pre-event press briefing on Mindset Re-engineering Conference holding in Lagos, on July 27, said Nigeria is blessed but is being managed by bad leaders.
Coach Ralph Ayua, the president of the center reiterated that what makes a country great are the kind of leaders it has and the kind of policies the make.
The Center also revealed the Keynote speaker of the event as Vusi Thembekwayo.
He said, “What makes a country great is not their natural resources, it is the kind of leaders they have and the aim of this conference is yo shift the minds of leaders to make policies that will positively affect Nigerians.
” If we can get them to make the right decisions, the market woman will be affected by that policy. If right policies are made, it will trickle down to those at the bottom of the ladder.”
He said the conference was put together with the aim of transforming the lives of Nigerians by fostering a shift in their attitudes of mind.
He said a bad attitude is akin to a flat tire, “you can’t go anywhere until you change it. As a nation, Nigeria cannot achieve exponential progress without first changing our collective attitudes.”
He said, “Despite being endowed with abundant resources, Nigeria will continue to languish in underdevelopment unless we collectively embrace a positive mindset The true measure of a nation’s greatness lies not in its natural wealth or population size, but In the attitudes of its people and leaders.
“Consider Israel’s prominence despite its desert location, Singapore’s remarkable development despite initial disadvantages, and Dubai’s ascent as a global tourist hub despite its arid landscape.
“These examples underscore the transformative power of positive attitude in shaping a nation’s destiny The true game-changer is not maternal wealth, but the collective attitude of a society.”
He said since the inception on November 23, 2022 the centre has engaged in various impactful projects, including mental health interventions fer victims of terrorism in Nigeria.
He said through these Initiatives, we have transformed the attitudes and empowered the lives of hundreds of victims.
