Character Is Not Available To Be Bought – Oby Ezekwesili

Good character has been identified as the basis of achieving good governance in Nigeria.

Ezekwesili who was the keynote speaker, noted that the world is suffering from leadership famine and it can only be redeemed by the moulding of good character.

“Whether it is a male or female leader, the character is the underlying factor that will define how our nation will make progress.
If you want competency, capacity you can buy them but character is not available to be bought.

In this fourth industrial revolution of biotics, stimulations, signs and all kinds of science solution driven, all we need is a disruptive era of the character of the individual. The character of the individual matters most”.
