Sam Adeyemi Calls for Experienced Leaders in Nigeria

Sam Adeyemi, the Senior Pastor of Daystar Christian Centre, called on Nigerians to elect leaders who can provide quality leadership and transform the country's fragile economy. He warned against inexperienced leaders during a time of economic and social uncertainty.

Adeyemi's remarks were made ahead of the 2026 Excellence in Leadership Conference (ELC) in Lagos, themed "Leading in Uncertainty." He highlighted that many current leaders lack formal training in leadership, which is critical given the volatile economic landscape. Adeyemi, along with his wife Nike, emphasized the importance of the conference as a means for participants to learn to lead effectively amidst challenges.

The event will feature speakers from various sectors, including Bolaji Idowu, Global Lead Pastor of Harvesters International Christian Centre; Oluwatobi Adeniyi, Managing Director of Unilever Nigeria Plc (NGX: UNILEVER); and Toyin Ayinde, former Lagos State Commissioner. The conference aims to equip attendees to navigate uncertainties and enhance their leadership skills.
