writes ... New Country. I had never been to Nigeria before.
Come to that, I had never been to Africa before, but on August 9th I
left Heathrow for Lagos not knowing quite what to expect. I was working
with the Pointman Leadership Institute and our mission was to speak to
several thousand Police recruits and their trainers about a type of
ethical leadership that combines modern teaching with biblical
principles and provides a moral compass that is both time-tested and it
works. In 2 weeks we visited 4 different training centres and spoke to
2,600 people. From Lagos we travelled east to Enugu state. From Enugu,
north-west to the capital Abuja to meet with the Deputy Inspector
General of Police then north-east to Ikeja. From there, south-west to
Ibadan via Lagos, returning to Lagos and back home on 23 August. Much of
the time we were under armed police escort and it was very hot and
humid. We covered about 1,400 miles but the Lord kept our six-man team
safe and in good health.
 New
Experience. We found the people very friendly and willing to learn.
As our training included fighting corruption, they were eager to learn
but only too well aware of the scale of the problem and the difficulties
that face both them and the country in tackling the problem.
 We
hope that there will be many more opportunities to return to Nigeria and
share our teaching at many different levels of leadership. The feedback
we have received so far has been very promising and so we pray that
those who have been trained will, in the days ahead, start to make a
real impact for good in that country with so much potential. Don
Axcell was a policeman and now works for the Christian Police
Association.
