In 1992 I formed the Business Students Club which later was to be replicated in other secondary schools in the region.
I would like to mention from the outset that Ms Kathrin Meissner has been instrumental in my attaining this stage of my education. Her enigmatic and constant encouragement remains legendary. After several years of failed attempts to gain admission in Ghana to do a Masters programme, I opted to apply for MA in international and Development Economics in Berlin, I was offered conditional admission. I was fortunate to be among 28 students selected from over 350 applicants worldwide
