Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan has urged public office holders to measure the quality of their leadership by the positive impact they make in the lives of citizens and the opportunities they create for others.

The senator made the call while speaking on the responsibilities of political leaders and the need for public office to translate into meaningful improvements in the lives of the people.

Akpoti-Uduaghan stressed that leadership should not be judged solely by positions held or political achievements, but by the tangible difference leaders make in their communities.

She encouraged public officials to prioritise initiatives that empower citizens, expand opportunities and improve living conditions, particularly for young people and vulnerable groups.

According to her, effective leadership requires a commitment to service, accountability and creating lasting opportunities that can benefit people beyond the tenure of an office holder.

She urged leaders at all levels to remain focused on the people they serve and ensure that their time in office produces measurable and meaningful results.
