People believe that legon is grounds for fun, then [they] get here and [they] see seriousness at work. What happens if the person never gets it right? Get it right, on your relationships, get it right focusing on your academics, get it right combining extracurricular activities with your academics and get it right, so far as tertiary [education] and the University of Ghana is concerned. “

“I got it right because I seeked the guidance of God. But that was not all. I used to attend programmes; there were a lot of mentors coming around, sharing their experiences and I bought into those ideas. I feel I got it right with the combination of seeking God’s help and attending seminars and programmes that shaped my thoughts. “
