Shaping Africa’s future leaders: What the African School of Governance means for Tanzania
The president and vice-chancellor of the African School of Governance (ASG), Prof Kingsley Moghalu, delivers a speech on ASG’s vision, academic programs, and unique approach as part of its Africa tour.
Dar es Salaam. As Tanzania moves forward with its development agenda and prepares for the 2025 General Election, the focus on ethical and effective leadership continues to grow.
It is in this context that the president and vice-chancellor of the African School of Governance (ASG), Prof Kingsley Moghalu, delivered a keynote address in Nairobi, outlining the school’s vision for leadership development in Africa.
Although the event took place in Kenya, the message is highly relevant to Tanzania’s goals for improved public service and sustainable development.
Prof Moghalu, a former deputy governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, said ASG is committed to developing a new generation of ethical and capable public sector leaders across the continent.
He said the school’s programmes are tailored to address Africa’s governance challenges through a mix of academic instruction and practical leadership training.
“We are not just teaching leadership—we are shaping the future of governance in Africa,” he told an audience that included government officials, diplomats, development partners and academics.
“Our approach goes beyond theory. We focus on values, evidence-based policy and strategic thinking,” he added.
With Tanzania seeking to strengthen governance and accountability—especially in the lead-up to elections—ASG offers a platform for enhancing the capacity of civil servants and future leaders.
As part of its Africa tour, ASG is also set to visit South Africa, Ghana and Senegal to build partnerships that support its mission.
