The South East should begin massive industrialisation. The billions we pour into gigantic village mansions that are occupied for a few days at Christmas can also build factories, industries and businesses in those same villages and cities. We are already building the talent pipeline through ISEE education interventions, Olympiads and rigorous skills development. In the next two years, we can produce a generation of young people capable of powering these industries. But talent without industry will simply migrate. We must build both. Factories. Technology. Manufacturing. Agriculture. Research. Skilled labour. Capital. Our villages should not just have beautiful mansions. They should have industries that employ thousands of people. We need to wake up. If we combine our capital, talent and entrepreneurial culture with deliberate industrialisation, the South East can become one of Africa’s major centres of production, innovation and human capital within the next decade. The next South East renaissance must be built, not merely discussed.
