‘Africa must prioritise STEM education to achieve full industrialisation’

Diversification in Africa, President Buhari urged African countries to tailor their educational system

Diversification in Africa, President Buhari urged African countries to tailor their educational system and academic curricula towards Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics . Buhari added: ‘’Energy generation and distribution is an enabler for industrialisation. Africa is richly endowed with multiple sources of energy generation. We are richly endowed with hydro-carbons, coal, natural gas, solar energy and hydro-energy. Yet we are lacking in the capacity to produce clean and cheap electricity to power our production and manufacturing sectors.

“The African Continent is blessed with a large youth population that can address our labour shortages. Therefore, we should tap this human resource potential that abounds in the continent by providing our youths with qualitative and fit-for-purpose education that recognises the labour market demands.

He expressed the belief that the outcome of the Summit would launch the African continent on the path to poverty eradication, food security and technological advancement, issues not far from the goals set out in the AU Agenda 2063 and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
