| description | The growth, development and stability of any giving society depend largely on the quality and type of leadership it possess vis-à-vis the input of the civil society organizations to the emergence of such leaders. Based on this backdrop, the paper examined the role of the Nigerian media in leadership recruitment with particular reference to Nigeria’s 2015 Presidential election.
