“The vision of Daniel Ukwu Leadership Foundation is to become a foundation known for promoting visionary and proactive Leadership.”
.
The aforementioned words came from Mr Daniel Ukwu the founder of Daniel Ukwu Leadership Foundation while x-raying the activities of the organisation, recently.
.
Findings showed that the Foundation had in the past embarked on laudable programmes as part of its social responsibility which included Work on dilapidated Community Primary School, Imezi-Owa in Ezeagu Local Government, mentorship programme for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Enugu South Local Government Area of the State, Hand Wash sensitization to commemorate Nelson Mandela Day at Metropolitan Girls Secondary School, Enugu.
.
Between 2019 and now, the Foundation has grown from in its numerical strength, championing social crusade and enlightening members of the public particularly the youths on the need for good leadership and skill acquisition to stem the growing rate of unemployment in the country.
.
Last week, precisely December 16, 2023, members of the Foundation led by its founder, Daniel Ukwu, embarked on environmental clean up at Michael Okpara Square, Enugu.
.
The Michael Okpara Square named after the former Premier of Eastern Region is significant as it has played host to many local and international events. It also situates opposite the Enugu State House of Assembly complex, strategically located in heart of Enugu metropolis.
.
Speaking to newsmen after the exercise, the founder of the Foundation, Ukwu said the clean up became necessary because the relaxation park was abandoned and unkept, adding, “It is our contribution to keep Enugu State clean and our contribution to humanity.”
.
“Leadership remains a serious business mostly in our country called Nigeria. Most of our leaders assume leadership unprepared in their inner mind.
.
“Recall that last administration, Muhammadu Buhari came on a second missionary journey after serving Nigeria as a military head of state. I was very excited before his first tenure but assuming office later, I realized he is not prepared to serve Nigerian except the North. His second tenure was worst than first tenure with south East on sit at home every Monday and Nnamdi kanu held in detention. On his exit, I was thinking he would let Nnamdi kanu off detention as his legacy. Leadership is about problem solving like Shehu Yardua solved Niger Delta conflict by establishing Niger Delta Development Commission. Buhari created huge debt for children unborn and massive poverty.
.
“Since President Bola Ahmed Tinubu came on board I am worried if he is equally prepared for big task ahead with constant fuel increase.The hardship is unimaginable to Nigerians. I am still doubting if he is prepared for big task. Is fuel only means of generating revenue to finance government spending. Leadership is about creative thinking to lift people out of poverty and not to push them beyond already poverty line. It is horrible in Nigeria today and more to come.
