Mr Agyarko, told the host that, not only does he want a unified Ghana, but he is also passionate about Ghana's educational system.

'The other thing I am interested in is our educational system. We need a well-educated population, either than that, we cannot compete with the outside world. We are in an era of artificial intelligence.”
