Why This Webinar?
Across Africa, particularly in Nigeria, many private schools are built on the vision, sacrifice, and personal leadership of founders. While these schools often become trusted institutions, many remain fragile and overly dependent on the founder.
Succession planning is not about replacement. It is about continuity of purpose, protection of values, institutional memory, and long-term sustainability. Yet, it remains one of the least discussed but most critical responsibilities of school owners and governing boards.
