In this treaties, the author, Kenneth IK. Ezea, a one-time practicing journalist for 13 year with leading Nigerian Newspapers – The Guardian, This Day, and Daily Independent, and who is now a Deputy Director and Corporate Reputation Management Specialist in the Public Service of Nigeria, examines the Challenges of Aku Leadership. The article which was first published in Society and Environment, a biennial Journal of Diewa Research Foundation, Vol. 4, No. 1, 2015, pages 19-41, conceptualizes and contextualizes Aku Leadership question from a prism far removed from the usual perspectives contained in most literatures on Aku. For example, he attempts to interrogate Aku distinct dialectical variations with a view to finding out whether certain concepts and practices that relate to Leaders and leadership in pristine Aku culture, have anything to do with the theory, style or approach of leadership that is peculiar to Aku. He goes on to give his verdict on the type of leadership Aku deserves and further recommends strategies of overcoming identified AKU leadership challenges so as to gain self redemption. “Who chose the name “Aku”? Could Aku have had a better name? Was the name chosen by our ancestors, and if so, why? Open the link that follows for details please.
