He's not unable, he's unwilling...

He has two bachelor's degrees, a postgraduate diploma and a master's degree, with a very insightful thesis on employment creation in Africa. Now he's studying towards a PhD in I-don't-know-what, probably debating.

On short courses, he did a refresher course at Ripa, fellowship in the United States, Canada and India. He did managerial training at Gimpa, and also benefited from a Singapore study tour. This is the profile of a typical African intellectual.
