Professor Patrice Loch Otieno Lumumba has urged young Africans to rise above the mentality of inferiority imposed by colonization.
Speaking at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), during the 21st Century Education Public Lecture Series, Lumumba told students they must reclaim Africa's greatness. "Our very presence here is a reminder that we must reclaim our past," he said.
He referred to the iconic words of South African leader Pixley Ka Isaka Seme, who once called on Africans to regenerate their continent. "We have a duty as Africans to regenerate ourselves.
You can only regenerate that which has already been generated," he observed.
