He said, “We have to undergo educational reform, so our youth are prepared for the private sector which is the engine of any economy.
“The most important thing is education to get our kids educated. And not only educated but rightly educated. And then they can make themselves available to the private sector for growth—which is the engine room of the economy.
“We should avoid the bottlenecks that stifle the funding meant to get to the universities,” he added.
