Speaking on the economy, he enlightened the postgraduate students on the fact that education is the platform for producing economic pilots and economic drivers to achieve sustainable economic growth. Generally, he said, education is a platform for empowering man's Intellect to think solutions, while University education is all about empowering Man to create solutions to the challenges besetting humanity.

He concluded by stating that the Knowledge market is the free market zone of life, with space for every knowledge product. “It doesn't have to be white to be right; it is high time we in this part of the world joined the leagues of those that create knowledge.
