  Rather, the private sector should collaborate with academic institutions. That's what is done the world over.

  OPAYIN CHRIS ADDY NYAHO,YOUR COMPREHENSIVE ANALYSIS OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE UNIVERSITIES IN COLLABORATING WITH PRIVATE SECTOR WAS GREATLY APPRECIATED.
  
  AS YOU ARE AWARE, HIGHER EDUCATION TOUCHES EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, UPON ALMOST EVERY SUBJECT ON THE AGENDA OF THE STATE.
  
  THE DEVELOPMENT OF DYNAMIC INDUSTRIES AND TO ACCELERATE ECONOMIC GROWTH,MANUFACTURING FIRMS, JOB CREATION,INCOME, CONSUMER SPENDING AND QUALITY OF LIFE DEPENDS MAINLY ON UNIVERSITY TRAINED ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS AND ON FUNDAMENTAL RESEARCH, BASIC AND APPLIED,CARRIED OUT SOMETIMES YEARS BEFORE REACHING INDUSTRIAL APPLICATION.
  
  PRACTICALLY ALL BASIC RESEARCH AND MUCH OF OF THE APPLIED RESEARCH ARE DONE IN THE UNIVERSITIES FROM APPLIED PYSICS, CHEMISTRY,BIOLOGY,GEOLOGY MATHMATICS, MYTICISM AND FROM AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH TO MIDDLE AGE STUDIES.
  
  OPAYIN,IN ACTUAL FACT,YOUR PROPOSAL SHOULD NOT BE LIMITED ONLY TO AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITIES, BUT,TO EMBRACE ALL FACULTIES OF THE UNIVERSITIES AND RESEARCH INSITUTIONS IN THE COUNTRY, AND FOR THEM TO MAKE A MAJOR CONTRIBUTION TO THE OTHER BRANCHES OF ACTIVITY IN THE COUNTRY FROM ENGINEERING TO THE JUDICIARY.
  
  NO MATTER HOW MUCH NATURAL RESOURCES A NATION IS ENDOWED WITH, SUSTAINED DEVELOPMENT WILL BE ELUSIVE IF, THE HUMAN RESOURCE CAPACITY IN GHANA IS NOT '''ADEQUATELY BUILT''' TO EXPLOIT AND TO PROCESS OUR NATURAL RESOURCES INTO FINISHED COMMODITIES FOR VITAL SERVICES IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  SUCEESS WILL ONLY '''''DEPEND''' ON HOW WELL THEIR ASSETS IN SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE SKILLS AND CREATVITY ARE PRACTICALLY AND TECHNICALLY APPLIED
  
  WE CANNOT CONTINUE TO BE PRODUCING CONSUMPTION GRADUATES TO FILL POSITIONS AT THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND AT THE SAME TIME TO RECRUIT FOREIGN EDUCATED AND TRAINED ENGINEERS, TECHNICIANS AND ARTISANS TO ASSIST US TO BUILD THE NATION.
  
  TOTALLY WRONG AND WRONG.
  
  THE EARLIER THE IDEA OF PUBLIC SECTOR AND PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERSHIP IS SCRAPED WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT, THE BETTER SHALL WE BE IN THE POSITION TO ACCLERATE ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE COUNTRY.
  
  PUBLIC SECTOR AND PRiVATE SECTOR PARTNERSHIP ONLY INCREASES BRIBERY AND CORUPTION, MANIPULATION, EMBEZZLEMENT, STEALING OF NATIONAL RESOURCES AND FRAUD.
  
  BEWARE OF THOSE WO COME TO ADVISE US ON SUCH A MAD ADVENTURE TO BE TAKEN ON THE HIGH SEAS.
  
  ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
  
  LET US RENEW.

  FURTHER TO MY COMMENTS ON YOUR ARTICLE,
  
  
  OPAYIN EXPERT, GHANA AND AFRICAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITIES CANNOT DO MUCH TO TRANSFORM THE SECTOR, BECAUSE, IT IS STILL DOMINATED BY ILLITERATE PEASANT FARMERS, WHO DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSRY EDUCATION AND TECHNICAL SKILLS TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY IN GHANA AND AFRICA AS A WHOLE.
  
  IT IS TIME FOR US TO KNOW WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE ARE GOING IN THE 21st CENTURY.
  
  WE MUST DO OUR HOME WORK FIRST.
