Someday, oil will run dry, natural resources will deplete and the things that we hold in high value today, as a nation, will depreciate in value. Industrial age will phase away and the Information age will replace it. Developed nations will find alternative to petroleum, timber, etc. or look elsewhere, as we are already experiencing in the agro-allied industry, for raw materials, leaving countries like Nigeria in the blues? The implication of this is that unless we take a bold and consistent step in the direction the world is moving, developed nations will continue to get richer while developing nations will get poorer. A way out is for developing nations to embrace technology and educate their citizenry in technology, so that when there are no more natural resources to exchange for finished goods, there will be technology to export. The same technology will help us develop our nation and be in Africa, what India and China in Asia is to the developed world. Technology, particularly Information and Communication Technology, is the wealth of the future. Training with us will open your eyes and your mind to this reality. Akin Aregbesola, |
