Democracies across the globe are in crisis. To rebuild trust and
strengthen good governance, our guest Oby Ezekwesili advocates
for the citizens to be put on centerstage of the political
system. To fix politics, as she calls it, we must “elevate the
office of the citizen to its rightful place in our nation and
develop a political class of servant leaders.” But what does it
take to empower citizens to understand their power and act on it?
Where does international cultural policy come into play in this
process? And how could a new multilateral system, based on these
values and ideas, look like? Our guest Oby Ezekwesili is an
economic policy expert, former vice-president of the World Bank
for the African Region and has served twice as Federal Minister
in Nigeria.
