Strategy augments and develops organizational competence, particularly when employed by leadership in attainment of set goals and objectives. Leadership allures strategy for visioning, mobilization, guidance and direction in the fulfillment of set aspirations, like societal development. Strategic leadership blends a functional concept of ‘articulated planning or vision’ (in strategy); and ‘task-based process’ of achieving set objectives’ (in leadership). National development involves the onerous task of moving a nation forward by general improvement of its citizens’ wellbeing by capable hands in a clearly defined process. The National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies (NIPSS) was established to train senior executives or policy makers as strategic leaders, through its Senior Executive Course (SEC) programme, on the way forward. The context of this study projects strategic leadership as task-based driving force for national development in Nigeria, inclusive of well-articulated decision making, and effective implementation determined by the use of will power. The activities and products of NIPSS provide the field or area for this study signifying that strategic leadership can be created, reproduced and sustained for particular purpose like national development.

CONCEPTS, THEORIES AND METHODS IN THE POLITICS OF FRANCOPHONE AFRICA IN THE P...TANKO AHMED fwc
Concepts, theories, and methods project subjects of study beyond mere technical definitions.
They widen views, heighten propositions, and broaden approaches befitting scholastic practices.
The ‘Politics of Francophone Africa’ comprises of three flowing variables of ‘politics’, ‘francophone’ and ‘Africa’
This lecture discusses how to create and use concepts, theories and methods for the course theme.
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO POLITCS OF FRANCOPHONE AFRICATANKO AHMED fwc
Modern African political structures and processes were greatly influenced by the continent’s colonial past.
The two major colonial powers in Africa were Britain and France.
The French are known for stringent policies of controlling their colonies and subjects.
POLITICS OF FRANCOPHONE AFRICA: GENERAL INTRODUCTION TANKO AHMED fwc
The modern world is divided into spheres of influence with historical origins from the era of building empires to the age of creating nation-states.
This processed featured the socio-cultural expansion to outreached colonialism by super-powers across the world.
Among the European colonial ‘masters’ is France from which the syntagmatic ‘francophone’ originates.
Policing has completed its natural cycle, originating from a community function to a global network, and now back to base as community or universal policing.
The common phrase of ‘Dan’sanda Abokin Kowa’ (police the friend for all) has transformed into the new ‘Dan’sanda Na Kowa’ (policing for all by all).
The process of policing is intrinsically tied to the primary activities of the People.
The Police are the closest government agents to the community level.
Strategic plans involve the setting of vision, mission, goals and objectives, guided by core values of the organisations.
“… strategic planning should be more about collective wisdom building than top-down or bottom-up planning.”
Aimed at setting priorities, focusing energy and resources, strengthening operations, co-opting and galvanising both internal and external stakeholders in attainment of set goals.
Strategic planning is different from the ordinary ad-hoc planning in which few disconnected projects are identified from time to time for implementation (Imobighe, 2014:2) .
It is integral with a comprehensive vision, in which all the vital elements of its resources including human and material, are effectively engaged towards the promotion of the goals and aspirations of the organisation.
The lack of strategic planning is ruinous to the vision, mission, and values of whatever an organization stands for.
In the highly competitive environment, the Nigerian auto-industry, strategic planning is a ‘do or perish’ process without which survival is very difficult in the face of fierce competition and available ‘alternatives’.

EFFECTS OF FLOODING ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: The Case of Jigawa State,...TANKO AHMED fwc
Seen optimistically, flooding could be more of a blessing than a curse especially when it occurs predictably in an area dearth of water resources. This paper describes flooding in its basics, discusses its causes and effects on the socio-economic development of Jigawa State and its people. The paper notes the devastating effects of flood in Jigawa State but also considers what it could have been if it was well-managed. It is assumed that the same flooding would also bring opportunities for socio-economic development against the destruction and miseries. It presupposed that if existing agencies, policies, strategies, and the commitment of the people and governments at all levels are reckoned with, the present equation would be different.
DEVELOPING A PEOPLE’S SECURITY ECOSYSTEM IN A CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENTTANKO AHMED fwc
The paper deploys an analogical approach to the complex topic of developing a people’s security ecosystem centrifugal to the existing national security architecture within a challenging environment. It conceptulises people’s security ecosystem as an adhocratic enhancement to the bureaucratic nature of national security architecture as aspects of national security management and describes the environmental impediments to its development. The paper deploys a system approach in the management process of getting things done by use of resources with the people as core. It views the existing national security architecture as a closed, self-constraint, over-regulated, isolated, restrained, and too bureaucratic against the people’s security ecosystem which is open, extended, flexible, participatory, and adhocratic as it interacts with the environment. The paper argues that the Nigerian security environment is self-afflicted with defective organisational capability, weak interagency synergy, absence of effective communication strategy, and prolonged breakdown in national value re-orientation. The paper attributes the deeply rooted divisive tendencies as precursory to a national psyche in which issues are seen in terms of tribal, ethnic, religious, sectional, and endless highly opinioned dysfunctional conflicts. It establishes the way forward to include the expansion of existing bureaucratic national security architecture to an adhocratic people’s security ecosystem for effective security service delivery. The paper strongly recommends the mass mobilisation of the citizenry, re-organisation of communities, and encouragement of security service entrepreneurship as key approaches to developing a people’s security ecosystem in a challenging environment. Some key suggested implementation strategies range from otherwise neglected civic duties to compulsory community and security service for all able Nigerians.
REMODELING THE POLICE AND POLICING IN NIGERIA: Challenges and Prospects for t...TANKO AHMED fwc
Recent developments including the current community policing programme, the new Police Act, the EndSARS protests, and a supportive Police Trust Fund provide the catalyst for remodeling the Police and policing in Nigeria. This presentation addresses the process of modeling the ideal police officer with particular attention to the challenges and prospects for the Nigeria Police Academy cadet-graduates. The paper discusses the meaning and philosophy of police and policing, and reflects on the work environment within which they operate. It argues that police officers are often on their own in thinking out strategies, planning operations, or calculating tactics. The paper employs the social learning theory to capture the mission, vision, and philosophy of the Academy in producing the ideal police officer for Nigeria. The trendy figurative phrase of ‘the thin blue line’ policing documentary movie is deployed to depict the complex challenges and prospects for the police in society. The paper projects the Police as the force holding back chaos to allow for order and civilisation to thrive; at the same time striving to practice good policing within its enclave. It describes command and leadership acquired by the POLAC cadet-graduates as a necessary tool for wading through the dysfunctional work environment hindering the police and policing in Nigeria. A simulation exercise is specially designed for the POLAC graduating Cadets on how to form a networking platform as preparation for facing the challenges and prospects of a technology-driven world. The presentation summaries key observations for a conclusion, with recommendations and implementation strategies on the way forward.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

measurements’ of its instruments,
presentation methods, and measurement
tools, to guard and safeguard against error
component often caused by respondent or
environmental influence.
Slide 26
27. Limitations of the Study
• Weak institutional memory with limited available,
organized, accessible and retrievable records.
• Natural instances and high susceptibility to bias
which will be countered by strict adherence to
standard and logical observance of sound
methodology.
• Focus on area of study may suffer some deviations
by other equally relevant issues which will be
settled by suggested areas for further study.
• Overall, the usual lack of cooperation or required
timely responses in data collection is expected from
