Elder and Luminary Legal Statewriters, Aare Afe Babalola (SAN), have called for deeper academic collaboration among African institutions, which states that such partnerships are very important for Africa to secure places that should be on the global stage.
Babalola made this known on Friday during an interview with the Nigerian news agency (NAN) at the Ado-Ekiti, shortly after being hosting the delegation of 16 people from the Durban University of Technology (DUT), South Africa. The delegation visited Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (Abuad), to give him news about the Honorary Doctoral degree to be given to him by Dut.
Reflecting visits, Babalola emphasizes the power of transformative education and the need for African institutions to work collectively to achieve common goals.
“I still believe that we can reach the proper place in the world through education,” he said. “That is why we work with Dut – to combine efforts, share resources, and move forward together.”
He added with the saying, “If you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together. We must go together to overtake other countries in everything.”
