"When he got to me, he tapped me on the shoulder and said young man you are going to be a strong businessman. I didn't know what the man had seen in me. When he made that statement, I thought he had offended me. I thought he didn't give me a ministerial position because I had not attended university. After we lost the election in 1992, I decided that me too I will attend university," Kennedy Agyapong said in an interview on YFM.

He disclosed that Prof. Adu Boahen's comments motivated him to go attend Fordham University in the US in 1993.
