The Chief of Staff, Directorate of Chaplain Services Protestant, Nigerian Army, Rt. Revd (Lt. Col) Joseph Njoku, has said Nigeria needs the right leadership that would give it a sense of direction and rescue it from its current challenges.

The military officer, according to a statement on Sunday, stated this during the graduation and the maiden convocation of Anchor Leadership Academy held in conjunction with Anchor International Youth and Teen Work Academy at the West Africa Theological Seminary, in Ipaja, Lagos.

Njoku said, “Nigerians cannot pretend to admit that the country is safe with challenges of kidnapping, armed robbery, banditry and terrorism ravaging the country coupled with the unpalatable state of the economy. Hence, the country needs the right leadership to give her a sense of direction.”
