In a Facebook post, Lois said she was the last student her supervisor would work with before his retirement.
“When your supervisor presents you the first award of the day, his last PhD student and his last award ceremony before retirement.”
In another Facebook post, Ghanaian journalist Rahman Osman said Lois was born and raised in Pig Farm, Accra. He believes she is a source of inspiration to many others from such communities.
“You know why I’m so happy for her. We went to the same school in Kotobabi. See - let no one tell you how far you can reach in life. Think about it, what are the chances of being born in Pig Farm Accra (Sokpe). Smashing BECE, smashing WASSCE, smashing Legon and going to the UK to smash engineering and aceing your PHD to be the best student.”
