 With disruptive technology, Africa has the potential to actualise economic development at a quicker pace than it took China, says Dr. Obi Ezequizley. Ezequizley spoke while delivering a keynote address at the Made in Edition of the Change and Development Forum organised by the Diary Adeboye Foundation in Lagos. The forum was to promote productive dialogue and partnerships among stakeholders within the social impact sector. The event was held at the Redemption Camp to mark the first year memorial of the passing on of Pastor Diary Adeboye and to create a development epitaph for him. The most significant thing that is happening in the 21st century of our lives is a sea change in economic structures of the world. I said the economic structure of the world is changing phenomenally. I said disruptive technologies would have such an impact on human civilization, much more than the cumulative impact of what we saw with the agrarian revolution, with the industrial revolution and even with knowledge revolution. I said to him that what would happen to blockchain technologies, the AIs, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, what would happen with the algorithms and everything that has to do with all these disruptive technologies of all kinds would soon transform our world. And I said, guess what? It's actually Africa's moment. I said if Africa gets it, it would take Africa shorter time span than it took China to happen. So imagine that Africa which missed the agrarian revolution, missed the boss of industrial revolution, missed a bit of knowledge revolution and cut home to the ICT revolution. In her address of the event, the wife of the urban state governor, Mrs. Bami Dela Biodu, called for concerted efforts to drive sustainable development in order to support and complement the government's agenda. This forum is not just about discussing change and development, but also about how it is to apply change and development in the lives of people around us, our communities and the nations of the world. This is one of the ways we can truly honour his memory by supporting and sustaining his legacy and his vision. Pastor Dari believed that education was a bedrock of any developed society and that is why he provided educational support to as many people as possible. We need to ask ourselves, what can we do to build the education system or to rebuild the education system in our country? On the aspect of education, we're going to do that. On the aspect of empowerment, we're going to do that. On the aspect of, I mean there were three or four major things that he believes in that he has already started. On the aspect of changing the environment, changing the mindset of people, we're going to do that. We're going to look at young people who have influence, who have the zeal, who have the interest to go into politics, to be able to change things around. We're going to put them on the platform, we're going to help them and now together on the platform we will help them. The same thing on the education aspect. From day one, from primary to secondary school to university, we're going to help people who come forward within the mission, even out of outside the mission and also to do that. The goal of the event is to drive policy and strategic discussions aimed at social development with the focus on young Nigerians. We'll see yous updates.
