The retreat brings together senior and middle-level management to assess achievements, identify challenges, and chart a results-driven path forward.

Just look at the level of arrogance of the man who was the governor from 2015 to 2023; he showed Rivers youths pepper. Stopped their scholarship from studying abroad without remorse. But all his children studied abroad and now he prepares them to hold elective position in the state.

After supporting Wike, you still go to church to dance and pray. God is indeed a merciful father.

Dr. Otive Igbuzor delivered a thought-provoking charge today at the 7th Cohort Graduation of the Centre LSD/Kebetkache Leadership School in Port Harcourt, reminding graduands that real leadership begins after the certificate.

He emphasized that leadership is not about titles or positions, but about service, compassion, and transformational impact. Visionary leaders are those who build bridges, unite people, and choose purpose over politics.

“Politics divides, but purpose unites.”

His message challenged every emerging leader to become a source of hope, healing, and courage in their communities.

The event also featured:
1. Keynote Address: Prof. Patricia Donli - Development Expert & Gender Activist, University of Maiduguri
2. Welcome Address: Dr. Emem Okon, Executive Director, Kabetkache Women Development & Resource Centre
3. Goodwill Messages: Prof. Mbalisi Festus (University of Port Harcourt), Prof. Roibito Ekanem (Development Advocate), and Prof. Fidelis Allen (Director, Centre for Politics, University of Port Harcourt).

Congratulations to all our graduates! Your leadership journey continues, keep shining the light wherever you go.
