Speaking at the Michael Okpara Leadership Lecture and Award 2024 held at the Musa Yar’Adua Centre in Abuja, Uzodinma urged fellow public officeholders to adhere to their legitimate means and avoid corrupt practices.
He attributed widespread corruption in Nigeria to an excessive pursuit of wealth and a lack of discipline among leaders.

Uzodinma also announced that the ongoing rehabilitation of the Egbema power plant will be completed and commissioned by the first quarter of 2025, a project he described as crucial for providing 24-hour electricity across Imo State.
Notable attendees included Cross River State Governor Prince Bassey Otu, Ebonyi State Deputy Governor Patricia Obila, former First Lady Patience Jonathan, and various current and former lawmakers.
