In a Twitter post by the young graduate, he disclosed that he nearly abandoned his programme a year after enrolling at the Central University Business School.
"In 2017, I returned to Ghana and enrolled at Central University’s Business School. After one business maths lecture, I called my mum and told her I quit," he said.

"You know mothers, she motivated me. The stress from Level 100 through 400 but look at me now. A graduate! Wow."
