This presentation begins with a brief discussion of the European missionary enterprise which led to the practice of residential education of children who are blind in the predominantly Islamic region of northern Nigeria in 1916. The Essential Behavioural Leadership Qualities (EBLQ) Method was used to determine leadership effectiveness of the principals of these residential schools from the teachers’ perspectives. Findings indicate a pattern of incongruence between rankings of essentiality and effectiveness of the principals. However, overall effectiveness of the principals was described as exemplary. The presentation concludes with recommendations to prepare the Nigerian schools for the challenges of the post-2015 development agenda.
