]]> All New Nigeria’s First Political Training Academy https://powershift.org.ng/nigerias-first-political-training-academy/ Mon, 30 Nov 2020 11:45:19 +0000 https://powershift.org.ng/?p=458 The role and relevance of a system for training and promoting new leaders for the development of our country has been vastly documented and for transformation efforts in Nigeria to be successful we must address this critical issue.

Recent actions in Nigeria have proved that intentional actions can lead to a positive result. Therefore we believe that a program that will intentionally recruit, equip and empower young people as effective participants in community leadership and the political process will go a long way to salvaging Nigeria from the long history lack of development and oppression. If not now, then in the near future.

This program is designed with the mission of training and empowering new leaders with skills and mindset to occupy public and political positions in other to bring about socio-economic change in Nigeria.

In order for us to build a successful educational program, it is critical that we understand and apply some fundamental
principles of education. For us to build a sustainable education program we will have to:

  1. Keep our program as simple as possible and be realistic about it.
  2. Be patient with ourselves – we have to remember that we cannot change Nigeria or ourselves in a day.
  3. Try to build in continuity and consistency.
  4. Make the commitment to persist until we have the habit or skill that we want established.
  5. Develop an attitude of experimentation and try to adopt a “beginner’s mindset” so that routine will not dull our attention.
  6. Try to incorporate learning or training opportunity into our day to day activities.
  7. Stay flexible and allow ourselves to learn, even from our mistakes.

An understanding of this critical analysis and requirements above gave birth to a fresh idea that lead to the establishment of Power Shift Leadership Academy.

The first training of 2021 is quickly approaching. Be sure to apply for your chance to become a part of the next wave of diverse, creative leaders changing the face of leadership in our democracy!
