Obi said this in his keynote address as a guest speaker at the fourth graduation ceremony of Nexford University.
At the event themed: ”Lead the change; ignite your future”, Obi stressed that the country is at the mercy of c0rrupt officials feeding from the government coffers.
“For governance, don’t think when we talk about vices, it is only Yah00 boys. There are actually more Yah00 people in government than there are outside because we have turned the entire country into a cr!me scene where people inside are st3aling and people outside are st3aling,” he said.
He reiterated the need for quality leadership to manage the affairs of the country, urging the graduates to become positive change agents in their communities. “Is about leadership and igniting the future. It is not rocket science, but it is difficult. It is being able to have a strong character – the ability not to do the wrong thing.
It is for you to help to bring a better change in that society that you want to live in. You have acquired knowledge today; use what you have learnt to help us change society.”
He said the graduates are victims of Nigeria because his age and the age before him have refused to do what is right and everyone is suffering from it. The former Minister of Solid Minerals, Obi Ezekwesili described service as the bedrock of leadership, urging the graduates to engage in services that impact positively in both their workspace and the country as a whole.
The founder of the institution, Fadl Al Tarzi, highlighted that no fewer than 1,200 students graduated, earning both first degrees and Master’s.
He said the institution is poised to improve education with the aid of technology, attributing it to the support of the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to support learning.
He stressed that AI could help Nigerian talents connect with global talents and improve the country’s economy.
