This begs the question: Given its vast intellectual and human capital, why does a historically blessed and resourceful region like Yorubaland continue to struggle with development? In other words, becoming the architects of this future means embracing modern knowledge and technology while simultaneously preserving cultural values. This would not only create a continuous base for world-class human capital development but also provide the essential research needed to give local industries a crucial competitive edge. Yorubaland must abandon its current partisan politics – devoid of ideological foundation – and instead focus on a twenty-year plan to build human capital. This is a critical juncture for the Yoruba people; it is time to rethink and reboot our approach.
