How Did We Under-Develop Ourselves?’ Sam Amadi Condemns Decay of Owerri Grammar School, Blames Africa’s Leadership Failures
Former Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) Chairman, Dr. Sam Amadi, has criticised decades of poor leadership in Africa, using the dilapidated state of Owerri Grammar School in Imo State as evidence of governance failure. Reflecting on the school founded in 1958 by visionary leader Dr. Nnanna Ukaegbu, Amadi lamented how once-thriving public institutions have been allowed to decay despite years of democracy and massive public spending. He argued that Nigeria and Africa have regressed in education and healthcare since independence and urged African intellectuals to confront internal leadership failures rather than blaming colonialism alone for the continent’s underdevelopment.
