YEN.com.gh earlier reported that Kennedy Agyapong stated he never went to university until 1993.
According to the outspoken politician, at that time, he did not see the need to attend university because he was making lots of money.
Kennedy Agyapong added that he changed his mind and went to the university in 1993 after the former flag-bearer for the New Patriotic Party, Albert Kwadwo Adu Boahen, told him in 1992 that he (Ken Agyapong) was going to a strong businessman.
