Vice President of Liberia, Dr. Jewel Howard-Taylor, has implored Africans, all over the world, to develop positive mindset towards tackling problems militating against the development of the continent.
Howard-Taylor, who delivered the 6th and 7th convocation lecture of Elizade University, Ilara Mokin in Ondo State, lamented that most Africans belittle their rich heritage and promote western culture to their own detriment.
The guest lecturer said it was a serious psychological problem for Africans to have lost knowledge of whom they were, blaming its slow growth to neo-colonialism. She instituted N1m prize for the best female student in honour of the Alara of Ilara-Mokin, Oba Abiodun Aderemi Adefehinti, which will be sponsored by the Vice President’s foundation.
