This is the President of Rwanda, Paul Kagame listening attentively. This Photograph along with others was posted by his Media Team on his Official Facebook Page so it wasn't merely Camera Pose.
He answered my Questions gently with facts and precision.
A performing President who left his Country to come and engage with about 60 Students in our Class on the MICROECONOMICS OF COMPETITIVENESS: FIRMS, CLUSTERS AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT last Friday.
Our Professor had asked us to read the Case on Rwanda's Economic Transformation before hand and his Team including my Friend and Sister, Clare Akamanzi CEO of the Rwanda Development Board were with him to document our Class Analysis as feedback. In fact, Professor Alfaro requested us to grade the President's Performance in Economic Development. He scored between 90-100% and we're quite a Tough Class.
This is how to know a progressive Leader.
Rwanda's Economy has become the model for other Countries around the World.
You can register a Business there within 6hrs, their Economy is the 3rd fastest growing on the Continent, the President has surrounded himself with the smartest people, they're using Science, Technology and Innovation to drive Economic Growth and Social Cohesion, almost 100% of their Children have full access to Primary Education, Carnegie Mellon University has established a Masters in Engineering Campus in Rwanda and the Country has the highest number of Women Parliamentarians in Africa.
I can go on and on.
This is the kind of Authentic and Result Oriented Leadership Nigeria desperately needs.
By the way, it snowed heavily that day but Mr President held his Umbrella himself and walked to Class.
Fellow Nigerians, What about Us?
