He added that it is gratifying to have one of its own as the Vice President of a sovereign state like Ghana.

It is a wonderful family to be part of, and I can’t tell you what an honour (it is to have him here as our Inspirational Speaker). I mean the Vice President of one of the great countries in Africa and one of the great countries in the world!
