7 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPTS OF CROSS RIVER REVOLUTION (I) Leadership and Good Governance as the Vital Ingredient of Economic Development Many national and international experts agree that the real impediment to sustained economic growth and development in the country is lack of quality leadership and good governance. In a study on governance and growth in sub-Saharan Africa, it has been established that Africa’s under-development could be linked primarily to the governance models practiced in most parts of the continent. Reputable institutions like The World Bank have made it clear in its studies that good governance is a significant determinant of economic progress. It is clear then that Economic plans, foreign investment and other inputs will only succeed in boosting economic development if they are orchestrated and directed by competent leadership underpinned by good governance. The main ingredient of good governance is principled-centered leadership. While there can be no progress without good governance, leadership is the pivot around which good governance revolves. Good governance and leadership are concerned with one thing: the good and prosperity of society as a whole. In the world today where efficiency and effectiveness is a condition sine qua non for economic and social progress, the need for effective and ethical leadership in our society cannot be over emphasized. It is our sincere desire that for the sake of our generation and that of our children, we make a commitment to ensure effective leadership and good governance in our state and our country. Cross River Revolution is committed to growing effective leaders for today and tomorrow. Join the revolution today! https://facebook/groups/391328277667654/
