Crediting God

Crentsil noted that he wasn't the typical avid learner as he attributed his achievement to God.

''Don’t be tempted to think I am a typical bookworm ‘cos I’m not. It’s been God and his infinite favour as well as a little determination coupled with working smart and managing time wisely.''

Impacting UMaT

While pursuing his degree, Crentsil doubled up as the Class President, Hall President (Gold hall), and National Union of Ghana Students President.

''I achieved this while serving in various portfolios ranging from Class President (right from year 1) to Hall President (Gold hall) to National Union of Ghana Students President to the only standing SRC Presidential Candidate (of which Covid-19 deprived me of a “cool chop” presidency ),'' he said.

Despite being involved in extra activities on campus, he managed to grow his social media presence, with half a million followers on TikTok and over 21 thousand followers on Instagram.
