The lessons were on women empowerment, education and employment opportunities.

Below is an extract from his statement,

More recently, academic studies around the world have concluded that nurture is the biggest influence on how an individual progresses in their life, as we are all to a broad extent born equal into this world

Instinctively that is what I have always felt to be true. So, let me tell you about my own experiences and how they have guided me in my varied career in public service, business and politics. 

I was born to an impoverished family and when I was very young, I lost my father. So, despite a lack of funds it was my mother who raised me. 
I remain eternally grateful to her for ensuring I went to school every day, so I was able to receive an education which equipped me with the ability to start my career working in the customs service. 
So even from an early age I learned three key lessons from my own experience:
1. How important women are in nurturing our young children to give them a good start in life. 
2. How important education is to enable anyone to achieve their potential.
3. How important it is to have a job, because however low you start if you work hard and are perseverant you can achieve whatever you put your mind to.
