Obi said this while giving a remark at the 21st CVL Annual lecture and International Leadership Symposium on Skills-Driven Entrepreneurship, to mark the 68th birthday of Prof. Pat Utomi on Monday in Lagos.
He stated that corruption and criminality kill professionalism and hard work and as such, the government must be deliberate to fight these cankerworms to drive the nation.
“Any country where the government officials are richer than businessmen and manufacturers will not survive. We must dismantle corruption and reward people for their talents, skills and energy,” he said.
