A bus driver identified as Jacob Semekor Mordzifa, graduates with a 1st class in Geography and Resource Development, at the University of Ghana after he obtained a final grade point average (FGPA) of 3.91.

Jacob was the cynosure of all eyes at the convocation ceremony of the university as he was named as one of the best graduating students at the University of Ghana at its just ended November 2019 Congregation ceremonies.

While speaking with JoyNews, he mentioned that after his secondary education in Sogakope Senior High School, he had gained admission to the University of Ghana in 2005 but could not go to the school at that time because his family did not have the wherewithal to support him.

Well, Mordzifa opted for driving a commercial car out of necessity to make ends meet and then save towards furthering his education.

“My driving force was the fact that out of a non-educated family of 21, with 6 wives to my dad, I could be the one to go to school and bring some light to the house,” he is quoted as saying.

Since going to the university straightaway was difficult for him, he enrolled at the Akropong-Akuapem Teacher Training College with the savings from his driving work.

While in the teacher training college, Mordzifa was saving his allowance towards his university education.

Fortunately, he gained Admission in 2015 and with his ambition to become a decorated academic and astute lecturer, he took his studies seriously and has now graduated with first class.

Despite getting married in 2017 in the middle of his university education, the young man didn’t allow family and its issues to distort his dream.

Congratulations to Jacob Semekor Mordzifa. He is an inspiration to many young people.

cool

Congratulations. Never give up.

I was told this story....

A security guard in one of older universities in Nigeria got the daughter of a lecturer pregnant.

It was in those days... maybe it was love or he fooled the girl i dont know...

He took JAMB while his mates were making fun of him for doing so.

He took SSCE & GCE. They were wondering why he was chasing a lost cause....

Entered BSc, was a big struggle trying to seek for night duty shift to go to classes...

Finished BSc... did MSc... eventually a PhD and became a lecturer himself. Now he waves at some securitymen at the same post who they could have served at the same time.

I would have found this story a bit unbelievable but a lab assistant who served my uncle during his PhD in 1986 when i took him home to help out said our house looked familiar..
He served me too decades after... cry

First class is for everyone. That a driver graduated with one doesn't make it a news. Geography, what a befitting course
