Civilization wasn’t built by lawyers but by engineers, architects, physicists and scientists in general. He’s right! Dubai, China, Singapore and the major fast developing countries are defined by their architecture, engineering, science and technology.

'You cannot litigate yourself into development'

Go and see the engineers KNUST alone is producing What have previous governments done to ensure the graduates the universities are churning out are of use to the country Nothing !!! don’t think we’re producing more lawyers because journalists and other professionals are

He’s right, but he missed the real issue. We produce many engineers, yet most fail to start businesses after school. Even those from wealthy families prefer government jobs. The government must create an environment where businesses can thrive.

He should fuck off …. The whole history of Ghana ibi this man make here giddadifok … stole so much gold for the white man that they knighted him

We are producing more Engineers than lawyers so what is he saying ??

Are we producing more lawyers than engineers?

Do you know the number of engineers that graduated from knust alone last year?

To reiterate his point, watch this

He’s right. China quickly adopted this approach after the WWII and this is why they’re now leading the USA and the world generally in technology. Xi Xiping and general leadership of the Communist Party are engineers and not lawyers, unlike the USA. The result is visible now.

...prioritisation of STEM education...: Long live Nana and Bawumia

In Ghana's history, at least, after the establishment of KNUST, I doubt there has ever been a year where the number of lawyers produced outweigh engineers. However, successive governments never seem to prioritize these engineering graduates. Which structures are to ensure that...

We have more engineers than lawyers though

When he was at Obuasi, what did he do help train more engineers for today? Did he think of future development?

we are not producing more lawyers than engineers mmom

@afi_sweetwun These people act like they have created jobs for the already existing engineers

You just earned a follow for posting this!!!

@grok when was this interview conducted and also give me more details

People of Obuasi

He is 💯 right.

@laudious @grok what type of engineers and scientists are they talking about

We producing Liars than engineers

What is it that all of a sudden, Mr Jonah is everywhere? Is he habouring a Presidential bid?

100% agree. The result of having many lawyers in leadership is corruption.

He is making a lot of sense. All we know in this country is esq

Agreed!!

This should be common knowledge

Arrest this thief

Another useless Technocrat responsible for supporting every state capture agenda. I don't know why the youth don't see him for who he is. The devil himself. Someone ask him when was the ast time he stepped his foots in Obuasi

Do you know the number of engineers that graduate every year?

We the engineers kraa job no dey give we

Empty billionaires

This man should just shut up.

The reason why this country is not moving from one stage to another . We give attention to things which will not bring development and improvement in this country. China is focusing on Engineering and Technology but Ghana is focusing on law.
