Despite his excellent results, Twum's parents can't afford his university education due to extreme financial constraints.

In an interview with Kwahu Ambassador, the trailblazer disclosed that he wants to pursue Economics but may have to delay his dream due to poverty.

''Right now, I have not bought forms because I have no money. A teacher wanted to buy the form for me, but I asked the person to stop because I can't finance my university education,'' he said.

Twum appealed for support to further his education and achieve his dream. Scores of commenters took to the comment section to express emotions or offer suggestions. One person advised that he applies for a COCOBOD scholarship.
