Alum Biography

Education:

University of Ghana, BA Political Science, 2006

Interests:

Politics and watching football. I’m still working on improving my tennis and chess.

Yearbook entry:

As an MPhil Development Studies student I intend to focus, among others, on the present state of Africa’s development, globalisation and its impact on developing countries, and the way forward for developing countries like Ghana. I believe Cambridge would provide me with the knowledge and exposure to make a real difference in Ghana. I strongly believe that my vision in life is shaped by Proverbs 31 from where I get my name. “Speak up for people who cannot speak for themselves. Protect the rights of all who are helpless. Speak for them and be a righteous judge. Protect the rights of the poor and needy.” (The Bible, Proverbs 31)
