He explained that, “Nigeria is a massive begging site because people are impoverished from lack of economic opportunity, unimproved Public Health facilities among others.
“National development is the capacity of a country to raise the Standard of living of its residents. It can be achieved by providing individuals with basic livelihood requirements and supplying them with employment.”
The Guest Lecturer, Prof Nwoke also noted that; “Genuine transformational leadership is one’s internal disposition, which relates to a sense of purpose, self-worth and self-concept developed from good ethical upbringing, nurturing or orientation.
“We need real transformational leaders with solid track records in leadership and governance across domains. We in our various capacities can do little we can to salvage the situation, except a system is put in place to drive it.
