Former Minister of Education, Dr Oby Ezekwesili, and other stakeholders will be speaking at the fifth edition of Edusko Africa Business of Education Summit aimed at proffering actionable solutions to the problems in Africa’s education system.

According to a statement, the summit will have subject matter experts and renowned innovators dissect how to place science, technology and innovation at the epicentre of Africa’s socio-economic development and growth through the education system.

The Chief Executive Officer, Edusko Africa, Jide Ayebusi said the summit, scheduled to hold this month, would focus on how to open up the possibilities of science, technology and innovation in schools.

Aiyebusi said, “While advanced economies have used their education system to champion STI development, African schools appear to be playing no active role in the development of STI.

“We will discuss the impact of STI on critical sectors and how our education system can be an enabler.”

According to the statement, other confirmed speakers and panellists for this year’s edition are the Senior Vice President, WPI USA, Prof. Wole Soboyejo; Professor of Management and former founding Dean of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business at Cornell University, New York, Soumitra Dutta; the Executive Director, SystemSpecs, Nigeria, DeRemi Atanda; the Executive Chairman at Atlantic International Refinery and Petrochemical Ltd, Dr Akintoye Akindele, and the Chief Transformation Officer, MTN Nigeria, Dr Olubayo Adekanmbi, among others.
