Nonprofit Organization Management - , ,
There has never been any doubt that Kano has tremendous potential for development. Alongside resources and a strategic location, we are endowed with a very capable, entrepreneurial and creative workforce. However, we have crawled for many years and walked in some short spans. Time and again we have failed to live up to expectations because rather than our people to realize their potential, we place unending roadblocks on their paths. Rather than find lasting solutions when problems arise or issues threaten to burst, we choose to play public relations and engage in empty rhetorics. Unfortunately, we keep losing many opportunities appearing like an athlete who is destined to run but when he approaches the track show signs of confusion and wants to do a walking or field event. We cannot achieve real social, environment and economic transformation that way. The time has come for us to run as we are destined to. While it is true that as a community, we need many things, it is critical for us to get our priorities right and to deal with them expeditiously. If every year we focused our energies on three or four priorities, our community and the entire Kano Plain would be completely transformed in less than 5 years and well on the path to achieving prosperity.
