 It's the conference organized by the World Intellectual Property Organization and it's an organization as we know that has a very important role to play on the intellectual property landscape, not just for the continent, of course worldwide, and so I was invited to give the keynote address to start the conference, and I must say it's great to be here, great to be among the great minds who are here to shape the continent. I feel it was very important to be present at this conference of the World Intellectual Property Organization for many reasons, but I think the main reason is to drive home the message that intellectual property matter for the continent's emergence and not enough important has been given on protection of ideas, protection of data, emanating from institutions on the continent, and yet we know that protection of this data will be a step forward towards wealth creation and of course once we talk about wealth creation, we talk about creation of opportunities for the youth and so all these is all in favor and I felt it was very important for me as head of state to be present to send the message that yes, IP matter. My agenda is to keep on focusing on the need to build capacity, on the need to build quality education, training and of course the need to protect intellectual property as a tool for creating wealth and creating opportunities.
