IN SHORT

Professor Patrick Okedinachi Utomi is deeply passionate about his country. It is a passion that revolves around service to others. As he continues to develop vital organizations along these lines, such as the Centre for Values and Leadership, his eyes are firmly set on the future of Nigeria and its people. “I teach something I call the pedagogy of the determined, which suggests that people must have a vision for tomorrow. You can then work towards that vision by creating an optimal learning climate, by choosing ideas that move you in the right direction. But it starts with vision.”
