Background of the Study
Succession planning ensures the continuity of leadership and plays a crucial role in organizational sustainability and development. By identifying and preparing potential leaders, succession planning supports leadership transitions while minimizing disruptions to organizational operations (Rothwell, 2023). Globally, organizations that invest in structured succession planning see improved leadership readiness and better performance outcomes.
In the Nigerian manufacturing sector, succession planning is often overlooked, leading to challenges in maintaining leadership continuity. Dangote Sugar Refinery in Jigawa State operates in a region with limited access to advanced leadership development resources. Ensuring that leadership roles are seamlessly transitioned is vital to the company’s operational efficiency and long-term success (Adewale & Onu, 2024).
This study explores how succession planning contributes to leadership development in Dangote Sugar Refinery, focusing on challenges, processes, and outcomes.
Statement of the Problem
Despite its importance, succession planning is often poorly implemented or entirely absent in many Nigerian organizations, including manufacturing companies. At Dangote Sugar Refinery, the lack of structured succession planning has led to gaps in leadership transitions, disruptions in operations, and delays in decision-making processes (Ibrahim, 2024).
In Jigawa State, where access to leadership development programs is limited, the absence of an effective succession planning framework poses significant risks to organizational stability. This study aims to address these gaps by critically analyzing the role of succession planning in leadership development at Dangote Sugar Refinery.
