TESCON-KNUST freshmen thrilled by Dr. Kingsley Nyarko's speech

Dr Kingsley Nyarko was the fifth to take the stage at the TESCON-KNUST Freshers' Orientation which took place at the Africa Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) on Sunday, 1st October, 2017.

As the Guest of Honor of the program, he was the only one who was chosen to speak on two different topics;

A. Freedom Of Speech In Ghana, The Role Of The NPP Tradition.

B. The Founding Of Modern Day Ghana: The Historical Antecedents.

A presentation of these two topics by him brought about a spark of light into the hall, and kept the audience's attention, which eventually resulted in a loud applause at the end.

On his speech on "Freedom Of Speech In Ghana, The Role Of The NPP Tradition", he advised people to accommodate dissenters, while they act very civil in their discourse. He said he saw this as a need because it was the only way to foster democracy and development.

On his "The Founding Of Modern Day Ghana: The Historical Antecedents" speech, he explained this issue has become important now because; how is a nation likely to enjoy its right pace of development if the people lack the zeal to sacrifice for it, because of their perception of a lack of recognition on the part of the Nation, and so, the urgent need by all to help in the correction of the distortions surrounding the attainment of the country's independence.

Moreover, he encouraged and advised the youth to work hard and live a positive life because they are the future of the New Patriotic Party(NPP), Ghana and the world as a whole.

Dr Kingsley Nyarko was accompanied by Isaac Kwaku Adusei, Nyamekye Gideon and Nana Kwadwo Akwaa.

Notable among the people who attended the program are Emmanuel Adu Amankwa, Dr Emmanuel Marfo, Stephen Amoah, Dennis Kwakwa, Francis Adomako and Nelson Owusu Ansah.

In concluding, the organizers of the program especially the TESCON-KNUST President, Fada B need to be applauded for their splendid organization, in fact, everything was on point.
