Nduom gives first batch of NSBT graduands $1,000 each
The 25 students comprised eight (8) females and seventeen (17) males, with two achieving first-class honours, 12 attaining a second-class upper, nine also achieving a second-class lower and two attaining third-class honours.
Founder and Chairman of the governing board of the Nduom School of Business and Technology (NSBT), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has rewarded the first batch of students of the school $1,000 each for successfully graduating from the school.
Fulfilling his promise made to the first eight students to gain admission to the school, Dr. Nduom explained that, the money was intended to provide seed for students with small business ventures while studying but the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the plan.
“Some of you graduates may recall that I made a promise to the first eight students who came here to start our institution. And that promise was to give you some money as capital to start a business while you are here on campus. That did not happen, so today after you receive your degree, each one of you, the eight students, will receive $1000 in cash,” Dr. Nduom explained.
Addressing the graduates, he urged them to invest their money wisely, emphasizing productive measures over transient pleasures.
“I don’t want you to use the money for drinking and eating, but to find productive measures to start a business or invest the money for the future,” he said.
Dr. Nduom however reassured the graduates of the institute’s commitment to ensuring their successful employment and urged them to maintain close ties with the institution.
The Rector of NSBT, Rev. Prof. Daniel Adjepong Nyarko, highlighted the school’s efforts in forming partnerships with international universities, particularly in the USA.
A representative from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission also encouraged graduates to apply their education towards solving societal problems and securing employment, emphasizing the versatility of their learned skills.
The 25 students comprised eight (8) females and seventeen (17) males, with two achieving first-class honours, 12 attaining a second-class upper, nine also achieving a second-class lower and two attaining third-class honours.
Meanwhile some 90 new students have also been admitted into the institute.
