Enoch Dwomoh, a student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has become an inspiration to many after sharing his humble beginnings as a bus conductor, popularly known as a trotro mate.
The brilliant young man, who appeared on the Oyerepa Afutuo show on Oyerepa TV, took Auntie Naa, the show's host, on a rollercoaster of emotions as she skimmed through his first- and second-year academic results.

This comes as Enoch benefited from the kindness of Auntie Naa after some benevolent viewers of her show agreed to support him financially through school.
"He did not allow the challenges he was facing to deter him; he purposed in his heart to learn," Auntie Naa said.
The young man, who will be moving to his third year when university activities resume, must now pay GH¢3,200 for his school fees and GH¢2,400 as hostel fees.
Speaking on the show, Auntie Naa admitted she got teary listening to Enoch’s story, and it was her desire that the young man stop working as a trotro mate and focus mainly on his studies.
Some viewers of the show therefore pledged to support the KNUST student, while others also made additional financial commitments towards his tertiary education.

Enoch, who was all smiles, said his desire was to one day become an engineer so he could fulfil his ambition of changing the fortunes of his family.
"What motivates me is that in my family, I believe I can do something to help my mother. When I am old enough, I want to transform her destiny. She has been through a lot," he said.
Enoch's mom, who was also in the studio, in a show of gratitude, thanked everyone who had played a role in ensuring her son could continue with his education.
At the time of writing the report, the trending YouTube video had generated over 2,000 likes and numerous comments.
