Abstract

The need for good leadership has been emphasized as an ingredient necessary for the progress and development of a nation. It has been observed that the development of the nation have been at a very slow pace since independence, many studies attribute this to the poor state of leadership in the Nation. According to Chinua Achebe â€œthere is nothing basically wrong with the Nigerian character, there is nothing wrong with the Nigerian land or climate or air or anything else,â€ but leadership. However, the question that comes to mind is could the Nigerian culture be responsible for Nigeria leaders poor attitude? An attempt shall be made to answer this question in the study. This paper carried out an exploratory study on the influence of Nigerian culture on the leadership and its implication on sustaining the development of the nation. The culture of corruption was extensively examined and it was revealed that the followers contribute greatly to the corrupting influence of the leaders. The culture of interdependency, â€œgod fatherismâ€, nepotism and the effect they have on sustainable development was also examined. The challenges of leadership and governance in Nigeria and the implications of this social menace as well as the role of Anticorruption Agency in the fighting of corruption was critically examined. This study suggested that the Nigerian mind, culture and value system need to be purified for a better and transformational leadership to be sustained which will in turn enhance the national development.
