“For too long, we have allowed our economy to depend on conditions driven by oil and we have seen that it is not good for our economy,” NAN quoted him as saying.
“Our nation is a great nation, we can do far better than what we are doing, we have abundance of natural resources and some of the most intelligent people in the world.
“This is acknowledged everywhere, so there is no reason why our economy should not be based on knowledge that is innovation-driven.”
