Odukoya Memorial Lecture to Focus on Nigeria’s Leadership Crisis

Mary Nnah

Lagos is set to host what organisers call a direct challenge to Nigeria’s leadership deficit on Saturday, June 20, 2026, with the 3rd Daniel Taiwo Odukoya Memorial Lecture at The Fountain of Life Church (TFOLC), Ilupeju.

TFOLC, in a statement, said that the event scheduled for 12 noon is free and open to the public, and it is designed to do more than honour its late founder. It is a call to confront a national culture of transactional leadership that leaves no lasting harvest.

Pastor Daniel Taiwo Odukoya died in 2023, but his influence has not. For three decades he built institutions, mentored thousands, and pushed a people-first model of leadership through ministry, entrepreneurship, and community impact. The institutions remain. The people he raised remain.
