"I had paid my own school fees throughout senior High school cos my parents could not afford it. And I was catering to two of my younger siblings," he recalls.

Man showed gratitude

According to the brilliant young man, one of his teachers, Madam Makafui Aku Akpah, made him aware that her sister, Gladys Akpah, would be able to support him, and based on that, he applied again in the year 2017.

"And guys, this woman who didn't even know my name, nor had ever seen my face, paid my admission fees to enter the university in 2017. Her generosity is what set me on the path to reaching where I am today," Mawutor said.
