The events after King Oyoโs passing teach us all vital lessons about power, impact, legacy, faith, family, human relationships, even basic decency. How could one man teach so much without having used so many words? May the gentle King rest in peace!

PPDA is currently engaging key stakeholders to review and validate the findings of the 5th Public Procurement Integrity Survey Report conducted by Reev Consult International Ltd.
The stakeholder validation meeting brings together representatives from the public and private sectors, local governments and other key stakeholders to critically examine the findings, provide context and strengthen the accuracy and relevance of the report.
The engagement comes as part of PPDAโs mandate to improve transparency, strengthen accountability and promote value for money in public procurement.
It provides an opportunity to reflect on what has been achieved, where gaps remain and what needs to be done differently to strengthen integrity and improve public procurement outcomes.

#RegulatingForResults
One of the telling things about our society at our functions is how we behave around food:
1. People loading more food on their plates than they can finish, and without feeling ashamed of the heaps on their plates
2. The fact that people have to be served, because they donโt know how to share limited resources
3. When given a chance for self service, people serving themselves without any regard to those behind them that might not get. Five pieces of chicken are left in the dish, and someone serves himself three of them (with 20 people behind him)
4. People eating more than they need, just because there is free food
5. People acting impatient as if they would die if they took 10 more minutes before their turn to serve (okulookalooka/ okululunkana)
6. Serving the second time (double) before others get anything, and pretending not to have eaten at all
7. Packing food to take home when some people present havenโt got
8. Catering service providers hiding food.
While these habits might seem isolated and only related to food, they ALL vividly manifest themselves when we are in charge of any resources that have to be shared. Think about it. Our biggest problems as a country are around GREED, SELFISHNESS, DISHONESTY, and lack of a sense of SHAME
QUALIFICATIONS CAN OPEN DOORS, BUT IT IS PRODUCTIVITY THAT WILL KEEP YOU IN THE ROOM
Our education and academic qualifications are definitely important achievements, as they will open doors for us, but it is not qualifications but our skills...
THE ROLE OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN LEADERSHIP
Leadership is often discussed in terms of strategy, results, and technical skill. But in practice, it comes down to how well you understand and work with people.
