“This gap underscores the essence of leadership: the imperative to listen, to understand the pulse of both local and international arenas, and to engage in thoughtful scenario planning.
Osinbajo said, “Let our gaze extend beyond the immediate, embracing a broader horizon that includes the vast spectrum of technology, climate change, demographic shifts, geopolitics, healthcare, and educational transformation.
