This study explores the evolution and application of leadership theories in Africa, emphasizing the significance of participatory leadership within the continent’s unique socio-cultural and historical context. Drawing on contemporary scholarship, the research examines how traditional, autocratic, and participative leadership styles interact with African values and governance structures, and highlights the persistent gap between leadership effectiveness in Africa and industrialized nations. As a practical case, the legacy of Rt. Hon. Dickson Dominic Tarkighir, a prominent Nigerian politician and member of the House of Representatives, is analyzed to illustrate the impact of participatory leadership on public service and social development. Tarkighir’s diverse educational and professional background, combined with his extensive legislative experience-including service in the 8th and 10th National Assemblies, the ECOWAS Parliament, and numerous key committees-demonstrates a collaborative leadership style focused on employment, empowerment, and social justice.
