The former minister said that the young people and technology would propel Africa forward, saying, however, that politics and governance process represent a major stumbling block.

“To correct these, we need to design a new pipeline that would contest against this monopoly political class that has a dominant culture.

“You can cry as loud, the next National Assembly, if filled with the same existing pipeline of political players, lawmakers will still buy new sets of Sport Utility Vehicles (SUV).

“The next set of Executive even at the state and local government levels will carry on with the same, nothing will change.

“You are a response to this hopelessness, you are the ones that will change it; we need a critical mass of people thinking with a mindset of service to the country and to the people at all levels.

“We are in a place of competent anger that pushes you to design solutions; you have to be purposeful and intentional,” she charged the students.
