When a Leader Gets It Wrong
“There have been decisions that I’ve made as MD… I’d gotten to Eko Bridge and turned back to the office to go and change those decisions.”
“Is this fair? Is this the right decision? Is it in the best interest of the majority?”
“Sometimes a leader genuinely makes the wrong decision. But what is totally bad is when a leader does not make any decision at all.”
— Dr Adedamola Dada reflects on accountability, self-questioning and the willingness to reverse a decision.

“…I had made up my mind early that I would be on the frontline with my staff. My biggest fear as a person was actually getting infected and infecting my mother.”

“Can the rule of law survive if citizens no longer believe that outcomes are fair?”
“Undoubtedly, no.”
“…if this becomes the pervasive feeling amongst your citizenry, then you have lost a major plank upon which nations exist, upon which countries thrive.”

“The funny thing about government is that when they’re screening you, they ask:
‘Are you a technocrat or a politician?’
Most people in my position would say “technocrat”.
But that’s not the right answer.
You have to say you’re a politician.”
Prof. Akin Abayomi on power, governance, and the realities of public service.
