Sam Adeyemi,Ibukun Awosika,Pat Utomi,Gbenga Sesan Challenge Nigerians Towards Exemplary Leadership

Lagos experienced a landmark event in history when it played host to

the seventh edition of the annual Excellence in Leadership Conference

held between Wednesday 5th and Friday 7th November, 2014.

It was a highly enriching gathering as speakers revealed the secrets

behind their accomplishments, in their respective industries, while

fielding questions from participants during interactive sessions.

In addition to the teeming internet audience across the world, the

conference which was themed Exemplary Leadership saw the convergence

of thousands of men and women as they were empowered with practical

knowledge from acclaimed speakers who brought a word in season into

the lives of participants.

"Bad leaders are bad examples; they spread immorality, destroy lives

and harm the people they lead. When we don't understand the purpose of

power, we hoard and abuse it, oppressing those who have already been

oppressed. The essence of leadership is service and power is not to be

hoarded but shared." convener and senior pastor of the church, Sam

Adeyemi, affirms while speaking during the conference.

Over the last seven years, God has renewed minds, restored hope, built

lives and nations through the Excellence in Leadership Conference. "It

was an unusual gathering of practical teaching, capacity development

and spiritual renewal for me. My results can never be the same," said

Tolu Oluwagbesan, one of the participants, while reiterating her

uplifting experience after the conference.

The conference also featured specialized sessions with accomplished

professionals across divers sectors such as Education, Media, Science

and Technology, Religion, Family, Government, Sports, Entertainment

and Economy.

Organized and hosted by Daystar Christian Centre, the conference which

aimed to raise a new cadre of exceptional leaders towards national

transformation had seasoned speakers from across different fields

including Sam Adeyemi, President, Success Power; Nike Adeyemi,

Founder, Real Woman Foundation; Toye Ademola, Presiding Pastor,

Dominion International Centre, Texas; Ibukun Awosika, CEO, Sokoa Chair

John Momoh, CEO, Channels Television; Praise Fowowe, Principal
