“The world's technology is not just for the people who develop it. The world's technology is there for everybody. […] Get yourself educated. Get to understand it. Utilize it in your own country,” Minister Rashid Pelpuo told Sputnik Africa.
He challenges Africa to stop begging for what it can create, urging nations to learn from China, Japan, and Europe:
