We are in a global village and there’s the need to engage other important and similar institutions both locally and across the continent of Africa to share knowledge. And as President who has just taken over, we will continue to engage critical stakeholders and officials that matter in policy formation and implementation,” he said.

Unemployment is one of the issues facing the country and there’s the need for analysts like us to look at a holistic approach to help reduce the numbers,” he said.
