You cannot blame the mismanagement of the economy or the fact that we have not invested adequately in education in order to give our people the knowledge, the skills and the technology that they need in order to be able to use the resources that Africa has to gain wealth.

Summary

This quote suggests that attributing Africa's economic mismanagement and lack of investment in education to its inability to utilize its abundant resources and generate wealth is baseless. Instead, it implies that the blame for Africa's struggles lies elsewhere and calls for acknowledging the importance of providing the populace with education, knowledge, skills, and technology necessary to effectively leverage the continent's resources. By doing so, Africa can overcome economic challenges and harness its potential for economic growth and prosperity.
