Gomashie was among the students and dignitaries who earned honours at the ceremony. Aside from the prodigy who received recognition for emerging as the Best Student, the university conferred honourary doctorates to Ghana's First Lady, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, Joyce Bamford-Addo, Ghana's first female Speaker of Parliament, and Ghana's former Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood.
With a bright future ahead of him, Gomashie tells YEN.com.gh that he overcame impediments but triumphed.
''It took the intervention of one of our coordinators after the school prohibited me from registering because I delayed the payment of fees for the second semester. When I managed to pay, I was told I could not register due to a challenge with the school's portal/system,'' he told YEN.com.gh.

The situation could not stop Gomashie, a former West Africa Senior High School (WASS) student, from excelling because he's always had goals to achieve greatness. ''I registered, and it's been worth the challenge. God did it.''
When asked how he plans to use his milestone to influence the lives of others, he said:
''I have a certificate in digital marketing. I've always wanted to do more. So, I try my best to learn new things. I have experience in media, IT, and other fields.
''Before I applied to UPSA, I used my little digital marketing experience to help small and medium-sized enterprises with branding and social media presence. I figured I could do more, so I applied to UPSA to improve my knowledge. I'll continue with that and do more,'' he tells YEN.com.gh.
