Queen Nozizwe Mulela (4th L) with Prof. Seidu Al-Hassan and other stakeholders at the 7th UDS Africa Leadership Lecture Series
The University for Development Studies (UDS), has held the 7th UDS Africa Leadership Lecture Series in the Northern Region.
The 7th UDS Africa Leadership Lecture Series featured Her Royal Highness Queen Nozizwe Mulela, wife of His Majesty King Misuzulu KaZwelithini of the Zulu Nation in South Africa and Managing Director of Eswatini Bank in the Kingdom of Eswatini as the Guest Speaker.
Her Royal Highness Queen Nozizwe Mulela, the first woman to be invited to speak at the UDS Africa Leadership Lecture Series since its establishment, presented a lecture on the theme: “Redefining Leadership for Africa’s Future: Ethics and Transformation.”
She noted the critical importance of ethical and transformative leadership among African leaders to foster sustainable and inclusive development.
According to her, the significant challenge facing Africa today is the lack of ethical leadership, both on the continent and across the world.
She urged African leaders to be willing to serve and to prioritise the interest of the ordinary people.
“This is the continent rich in everything that mankind needs, we need good leaders to exploit the advantages we have in Africa to better our lives,” she stated.
The Vice-Chancellor of the University for Development Studies, Professor Seidu Al-Hassan, thanked Her Royal Highness Queen Nozizwe Mulela for honouring the invitation of the university.
“Your Majesty’s stirring words called us to action and to uphold integrity, champion inclusivity, and reimagine leadership for a new Africa. Your message echoes deeply in the hearts of every listener, and for that, we are forever grateful,” he added.
