IS SHE GOING TO MARS OR THE MOONTO WORK OR DO BUSINESS WITH THAT USELESS PHD AS A BLACK GIRL?

THERE'S SIMPLY NO EMPLOYMENT MARKET DEMAND FOR THAT PROFESSION AS LONG AS SHE'S BLACK AFRICAN!

SOME GHANAIANS REALLY DO NOT HAVE A CLUE ABOUT WHAT GOES ON IN OTHER PARTS OF THE GLOBE AGAINST BLACKS.

I DON'T THINK THIS GIRL REALLY ACCEPTED ADVISE FROM ANYBODY AGAINST TAKING THAT COURSE AS A PROFESSION.

Societies where females are doing well in science do not struggle to develop. Should focus on her field and not be tempted to join politics, which is becoming a threat to higher education.

SHE IS A LICENSED SURVEYOR. THAT'S ALL. GEOMATICS PROFESSOR, GEODETIC ENGINEERS, ETC., IT ALL MEANS SHE IS A SURVEYOR. PERIOD. AND HOW IS THAT ANY EXTRAORDINARY ACHIEVEMENT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SURVEYORS IN GHANA FROM COLONIAL TIMES.

IN FACT, THE SURVEYOR PPROFESSION HAS BECOME SO EASY TO DO WITH THE ADVENT OF VARIOUS APPLICSTIONS THAT YOU CAN SIMPLY DOWNLOAD ON YOHR OHONE AND FOLLOW THE PROMPTS. SO WHAT IS SO SPECIAL ABOUT HER BEING A SURVEYOR???

Kwasia this woman is a professor teaching that course, but all you see is a surveyor, just to minimize her accomplishments....

A Geomatics Professor is an academic expert specializing in the collection, analysis, interpretation, and visualization of geospatial data.

They teach students about geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, geodesy, and surveying, equipping them with the skills necessary for urban planning, environmental management, and resource exploration.

Typically, Geomatics Professors hold a Ph.D. in Geomatics or a related field and are involved in both teaching and research, contributing to the advancement of the field through original research and scholarly publication...

Bro don't worry your breath at times the name she bare will bring some.denigratory comments like this. At times it's pure hatred at times too is tribal from some tribal bigots who still belongs to the stone age and are lacking the sense of understanding were exactly the modern world has gotten to. These men and women don't understand what building a nation is and will never understand that a tribe can never be bigger than a nation and no matter what with their negative attitude they still form part of a nation

Ask those who used compass's. tape abs chain to survey in the colonial era and air photos to prepare base maps. those are the real surveyors

It is worrying and annoying how even the most educated sections of Ghanaian society get impressed and excited about high academic titles which do not seem to have any reflection or bearing on the social and economic conditions in the public domain.

Meanwhile, the following seems to be the true state of the nation. Open defecation, long queues at public toilets, insanitary, unhygienic and stone-age sewage conditions, overcrowded residential areas that are littered with garbage and cluttered with unsightly kiosks and all manner of temporary structures, multiple slum areas in cities and towns, a complete lack of or, at best, unreliable provision of utilities such as common potable water and electricity, bad difficult to navigate roads, a huge inexplicable discrepancy between incomes and the cost of life, doubtful educational content and standards etc, etc. This is the mainstay of even the capital city and other urban areas of a country where at the very least, 80% of it can be classified as rural or slum in nature.

It is frightening to think that Ghana has, in fact and in deed so soon, degenerated to the unenviable level of Nigeria where non-performing double and even triple doctorate holders who show no trace of basic common sense, can be pulled out of every hovel.

In the midst of the prevailing doomsday realities where copy and paste doctorate holders strut arrogantly in the corridors of public institutions like village headmasters, emigration has become the most aspired ambition of the overwhelming numbers of the disenchanted youth who openly brand their country with a no hope label.

Anyway, it is hoped that Dr Naa Deidei Tagoe will be able to match her apparent natural beauty - as observed in the accompanying photo, as well as her touted academic distinction, with future outstanding professional performance. Education is not only proven with fanciful certificates. The true mark of education is found in excellent and quality professional performance.

Big words for the same thing that was done years ago. Geomatics or whatever, it is the same SURVEYING. She is a Surveyor, and that is the end. Simple.
