In a recent interview with News Central TV, Peter Obi, the former Labour Party presidential candidate for the 2023 election, discussed the detrimental effects of corruption on entrepreneurship in Nigeria.
He emphasized that in a corrupt environment, individuals are discouraged from hard work and innovation.
Obi stated, “Nobody thinks in a corrupt country. Why will I work hard to create a business and suffer to grow the business when I can make more money from being a politician? Corruption kills professionalism.”
His remarks highlight the urgent need for systemic change to foster a more conducive environment for business and professional integrity in Nigeria.
