Shagari institute to promote democracy
The moribund Shehu
Shagari World Institute for Leadership and Good Governance in Nigeria
(SSWI) is being revived to promote democracy, responsible leadership
and the rule of law. The Executive Director of the institute, Zayyanu
Umar said that “we have to utilise the institute in efforts to
consolidate the current democratic gains in the country and I believe
this should be supported by all well-meaning citizens of the country,”
adding that the institute would provide the vehicle for the networking
of noble ideals “and that is why attempts are being made to re-engineer
it.”
According to Mr. Umar, the institute was established in 1997 by the
admirers of the Second Republic President, Shehu Shagari in recognition
and appreciation of his great service to humanity and to promote his
lofty ideals. The institute has being moribund for four years.
