Today it has been recognized that the best asset and source of competitive advantage organizations possess is its people, their skills, attitudes, competences and knowledge.

This paper examines how quality religious education can assist the nation's growth and development through poverty alleviation by an effective leadership. Solve of the recommendations offered include imbibing positive attitudes in the leadership and the followers who are the leaders to be, above all quality religious education in the education system as a stepping stone to preparing leaders for the nation to effectively steer the mantle of poverty alleviation in Nigeria.
