How to Fix this issue

     public ObjectiveList obj;
     public Text objList;

When posting code, please do not post screen shots. People can not help much that way. Please format ALL you code properly and paste the code directly into the body of the question. To do that copy the code to your clipboard and press the "101010" button in the toolbar of the UA text editor. This will format the code so it can be easily read in the forum.

But I would say your problem is that

 public text objList;

has not been set in the inspector and therefore is null. so when you go to use is you will get a NullReferenceException error.

You need to create a UI Text object in the hierarchy like seen in this link. Then drag the UI Text object to the Text field as seen in this link.
