Raphael Sunday Ojo & Suwebat Opemiolopin Daniju-Jegede

Abstract

Education is widely acknowledged as a potent instrument for socio-economic transformation, especially in regions facing challenges of poverty like Lagos State, Nigeria. Within the educational landscape, private schools hold a significant position, catering to diverse demographics and playing a vital role in shaping the future generation. However, the sustained quality and effectiveness of these institutions rely heavily on efficient leadership transitions, a factor often overlooked yet profoundly impactful in the realm of education. The concept of succession planning, particularly within the private educational sector of Lagos State, emerges as a critical area for exploration to address the broader issue of poverty eradication. This study investigates the pivotal role of strategic succession planning in private educational institutions within Lagos State, Nigeria, and its profound implications for poverty eradication. This paper examines how adept succession planning can significantly impact poverty eradication by ensuring sustained educational quality, institutional stability, and community empowerment. Through a comprehensive analysis, it explores the multifaceted dimensions of succession planning and its direct link to breaking the cycle of poverty within Lagos State.
