Abstract
There is a need to start this discourse on the major theme of the Third Biennial Faculty of Arts International Conference by looking at the variables in the topic which are Leadership, Good Governance, and Development. Let me also quickly add from the very onset that these three key concepts are intricately linked to the process of nation-building and national integration. Indeed, the three concepts or terms have dominated global discourse for some time now. The conceptual ambivalence and ambiguity that surrounds them relate nevertheless to their multi-dimensional and multifarious perspectives. It is, therefore, imperative to operationalize them in order to properly situate them in the context of this academic discourse. We shall now discuss them piecemeal.
