CHRIS KOLADE TO SPEAK ON RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP IN NIGERIA



Dr Christopher Kolade, CON, Nigeria’s former High Commissioner to the United Kingdom will on Thursday (March 18) speak at a public seminar of Managing Business for Christ (MBFC).

First in a newly introduced series planned by MBFC, a ministry dedicated to bringing business persons and business practices to Jesus Christ, Kolade will be speaking on the theme, “Is Responsible Leadership achievable in 21st Century Nigeria?”

The seminar, which is open to all members of the public, is scheduled for at Golden Gate Restaurant, Kingsway Road, Ikoyi, Lagos at 4:30pm. It will last two hours.

MBFC, which Dr Kolade serves as Board Chairman, has for many years held monthly breakfast meetings and other events which have attracted managers and leaders in the private and public sectors in Nigeria and some other countries including the United Kingdom.



Kolade's tenure in the United Kingdom as High Commissioner has been widely acclaimed as visionary, and is the subject of a book, HE MADE THE DIFFERENCE, The Dynamic Story of Ambassador Christopher Kolade in Britain, written by a UK-based Nigerian journalist, Pamela Chinekwe and published by KP BOOKS. He brings into this Seminar assignment, years of leadership experience spanning several decades in teaching, broadcasting, broadcast management and in the organised private sector.

In broadcasting, he rose to become Director General of what is today known as the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria, and in the private sector he served at multinational food and beverage giants, Cadbury Plc, variously as Executive Director, Managing Director and Board Chairman.

Admission to the seminar, which is interactive and expected to draw high profile interest, is free, but it is strictly by registration, so that seats might be reserved. Interested members of the public have been requested to contact Remi or Moji on 01-7643572 or e-mail mbfchrist@btinternet.com for registration and further information.
