The second son of the Executive Secretary of the National Identification Authority (NIA), Prof Kenneth Atafuah, has graduated from the Ashesi University, a leading private university in the country, with the highest undergraduate honour - the Presidential Award for Scholarship, Leadership and Citizenship, in recognition of his exceptional commitment to the core values of the university, including academic excellence, leadership and civic responsibility.

Yamoah Frimpong Attafuah also graduated at the top of his class with the highest academic distinction — a summa cum laude in computer engineering and also received the Technical Excellence Award.

Ashesi conferred the honours on him at its twentieth commencement ceremony, on Saturday, August 24, 2024.

In a recent post shared on Facebook, Professor Kenneth Agyeman Attafuah stated that Ashesi University gave its highest recognition to his son for being an action-oriented scholar, gracious servant leader, and optimistic citizen.

"Saturday, 24th August 2024, The happiest day in the life of my family. The highly-esteemed Ashesi University gave its highest recognition to my second son, Yamoah Frimpong Attafuah, popularly known as Wofa, for being an ‘action-oriented scholar, gracious servant leader, and optimistic citizen.’

“For these exceptional personal attributes and his stellar performance, and in recognition of his outstanding contributions to Ashesi University's core values, Wofa was the proud recipient of The President's Award for Scholarship, Leadership, & Citizenship. The citation said in part that Wofa personified these values of Ashesi University.

"We were also very excited that Wofa graduated summa cum laude, the highest academic distinction, in computer engineering, topping his class. In addition, Wofa received the Technical Excellence Award from Ashesi University at a brief ceremony at the Labadi Beach Hotel the previous night," he narrated.

He also paid glowing tribute to all those who supported his son’s academic journey during his time at the university.

“To God and all our families and friends everywhere, and to the faculty, executives, and students of Ashesi University, we say a huge ‘thank you’ for your love, kindness, and support during Wofa's four-year journey on the hills of Ashesi," he stated.
