Makama:"Yesterday I delivered a Keynote address at the "Africa Futures
Roundtable" in Lagos, Nigeria. The subject of my address was "Designing
Policies to drive Innovation". I stated my belief that the future of
innovation in Africa starts with appropriate
education that encourages critical thinking & boldness. We need to
foster divergent thinking - multiple possible answers to a question or
problem. Role learning, cramming for exams and regurgitation stifles
innovation. We need an educational revolution in the way we teach our
children."
