Duru Advocates for Opportunity-Creating Leadership in Africa
At the 2026 YOU Inspire Leadership Conference held in Abuja, Hon. Princess Obianuju Duru, founder of Face of Congeniality Nigeria (FOCN) Leadership Academy, stated that the measure of African leadership should be the opportunities leaders create for others, rather than the positions they hold. Duru urged leaders to turn inspiration into action through self-discipline, mentorship, and purposeful leadership.
She described the palace as a representation of preparation, character, and the responsibility to use influence to create opportunities. Duru identified self-governance, mentorship, purposeful relationships, and personal development as essential for leadership preparation.
The conference featured a keynote address by Rt. Hon. Onofiok Luke, PhD, who discussed the importance of personal discipline and accountability in leadership. Dr. Teresa Ekaete Nwachukwu also contributed by addressing the development of people and effective team building.
The event concluded with a call for emerging leaders to apply their knowledge to create opportunities for others.
