“In this time of COVID-19, we need leadership more than ever. Leadership that is adaptive, leadership that is responsive, and leadership that speaks to the evidence and facts and is driven by a set of core values. Wherever you are, you have a strong role to play in this particular period exercising your leadership. Walk the talk, be sure you support the government in all its initiatives to flatten the curve, help the drive towards greater accountability, avoid spreading fake news or panic news, offer innovative solutions that will help Nigeria deal with this pandemic, and make sure your mind is thinking about the future – how we will live after COVID-19 has come and gone. Don’t forget also that we leaders must show empathy at this time and be able to support and help others wherever they are. Finally, during this time, please stay safe. Stay at home, and follow the guidelines.”
