A leadership lesson for Nigeria from Dolly Parton, By Dakuku Peterside

This article draws a parallel between the leadership style of the late Dolly Parton and the challenges faced by Nigerian leaders. While Parton achieved global fame through music and business, she used her influence to create lasting public value through initiatives like the Imagination Library and donations to medical research. In contrast, Nigerian leaders are criticized for failing to convert their influence into trusted public services, often prioritizing personal gain over societal benefit. The article highlights systemic issues such as corruption, where public resources are misused for private advantage, leading to widespread bribery and loss of citizen trust. It calls for a shift toward stewardship, emphasizing that true leadership involves creating sustainable solutions for the public good.
