The Vice Chancellor of the institution, Professor Adenike Oladiji said leaders are supposed to make intelligent decisions to inspire followers to take collective decisions.
According to the Vice Chancellor, leadership is not about leading the country, but also guiding and mentoring people.
Professor Oladiji added that a students’ union leader in the university must be a rallying point for students in their quest for a conducive learning environment.
