Recently, the world received news that the Taliban have taken over Afghanistan. With this new information, different speculations have been going about. A lot of people have shared their fears of what they expect from a Taliban rule in Afghanistan. The fears, speculations, and expectations point out that the head determines all in any organisation, institution or industry.
The many concerns of the citizens of Afghanistan have caused people to take every risk possible to escape the country, including holding on to a plane flying out. This situation makes one wonder just how bad the citizens expect life to be under this new rule.
Of all the predictions associated with this new government, one is very disturbing, and that is how the government plans to treat women. There have been reports that schools in the country are to no longer have female students and that all women in Afghanistan now have to wear a burqa or else they be punished. The latter makes the term, the head determines all quite literal.
The issue now is that if these rumours turn out to be true, what does that mean for the women in Afghanistan. Considering that women play a huge role in energy access and the global drive towards sustainable energy, new government policies restricting women’s education would take economic growth and energy diversity in the country steps backwards.
However, the whole scenario points out the importance of the quality of leadership in any organisation, institution, or industry. In essence, the head determines all.
Can we say the same thing about the Nigerian electricity sector, though? Can we say the sector’s leadership has been the cause of all the problems? And if yes, who exactly do we fault as the head of the electricity sector?
