Bridging Nigeria's Divides

This book offers a comprehensive and authoritative analysis of how Nigeria's diversity has shaped its social political and economic trajectories and the critical role of leadership in navigating these complex dynamics. Drawing on a multidisciplinary approach that combines historical political sociological leadership and political economy perspectives it seeks to challenge existing narratives and provide fresh insights that can inform the path towards sustainable unity and prosperity. At the heart of this book is the recognition that transformative leadership is essential for addressing Nigeria's diversity-related challenges and forging a shared national vision. The nation's diversity should not be seen as a liability but rather as a source of strength and resilience if harnessed effectively. This work will explore innovative models of inclusive visionary and accountable leadership that can navigate the fault lines of Nigerian society and harness the country's rich tapestry of cultures and identities as a catalyst for progress and development. The book is structured around ten comprehensive chapters each delving into a critical dimension of Nigeria's diversity dynamics and the leadership imperative.
