Renowned political-economist and
founder of the Centre for Values in Leadership, CVL, Prof. Pat Utomi has
decried the collapse of culture in Nigeria “where you don’t do anything without
bribery.”
He stated this while delivering
the first of the lecture series organised by the Students Affairs Department of
the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, College of Medicine, Ituku-Ozalla,
Enugu, with the theme: “Excellence in character and learning as a tool for
restoration of the dignity of man.
According to him, “If we do
things with commitment, there is no stopping us. With the will to dare, if you
can dream it, you can make it. Seize every opportunity. Do not procrastinate.
Nothing is impossible. It is only your will that can stop you.”
Utomi stated that he had wanted
to be a pilot, but ended up an academic and intellectual. He urged the students
“to blend character with learning to be a wholesome man, which in the long run
would make for a wholesome society.”
