The president and

meeting with the British High Commissioner in Nigeria, Andrew Pocock expressed
gratitude to the Ambassador for an opportunity to share some of his thoughts on
leadership with him.
Mr. Pocock reiterated his gratitude as he shared
his experiences during his first visit in Nigeria in 1983-1986 when Lagos was
the Federal capital of Nigeria, and since then he has been to other African
countries like Zimbabwe, Tanzania, to mention but a few.
Pocock who spoke to
GOTNI crew, says that leadership is a simple word but has a big concept which
matters in every sphere of life ranging from the family, to companies and to
countries especially a country like Nigeria.
According to Pocock,
Nigeria is a country of enormous potential. It is a country of great size. He
stressed on the fact that Nigeria’s size and resources alone does not guarantee
its stability, success or the fulfillment of its potential, he says that what
Nigeria needs is a catalyst.
Mr. Pocook says
leadership is not a thing for a group of selected people, but for all,
particularly young people who would engage in a number of things like to base
their approach to live and leadership on some foundation of core values like
integrity and effort.

if they want to be great and successful. On a final note, he expressed his
gratitude to the president- Linus Okorie for the opportunity to be speak at the
