Man who lost ability to walk as teenager achieves great feat, called to bar
- A man has achieved his life's dream of becoming a lawyer despite the discomforts that come with his physical disability
- Bagging his first degree in 2005, the man went further and applied for his LLB despite being denied admission twice
- After getting in, the physically-challenged man did well in school, passed his law exams, and was called to bar on Thursday, December 17
A man has triumphed over the physical disability that should have marred his dream. His confinement to a wheelchair all started when he was a teenager of 17 years old.
In an account shared by a Facebook user, Nene Addo Kweitsu, the man came down with an ailment as a child which affected his mobility.
With a strong will to rise above his circumstances, he trudged on and got his degree from the University of Ghana in 2005.
After two failed attempts to become a lawyer at the same university, he was eventually accepted in 2014. With his LLB degree, he enrolled at the Ghana School of Law.

Right there on the sickbed, the lady attended to all her school assignments and wrote her examinations.
According to her, with Jesus’ help, she recovered fast and graduated on time, bagging a degree in chemical engineering and minor in chemistry from the University of Toledo in the US.
