Our Universities should produce Rational beings that will be able to distinguish between Bad and Good – Jonathan

Former president of Nigeria Goodluck Ebele Jonathan has called on Nigerians Universities, to take responsibility of producing citizens that will be able to differentiate between bad and good.

Jonathan said this while speaking today, at Godrey Okoye University Convocation in Enugu, on a topic titled “the role of the academia in nation-building.”

He said, “Our universities should produce rational beings that will be able to distinguish between good and bad.”

He also stated that “It is the responsibility of the universities to create humanists, scientists and engineers with moral and ethical standing. They, in turn, will be the ones to build the robots that would power our industries and our economy, to make the lives of our citizens more meaningful.

“The solutions to the troubles of our land are with many of you seated here. So do not hesitate to offer yourself as an agent of transformation.
One thing is clear: opportunities abound in the midst of adversity. To the un-discerning, difficulties are moments to despair but to the courageous and enlightened, it is an opportunity to excel.”
