Fuel prices are already high but some attendants don’t care. They’ll still make an extra coin by not resetting the pump correctly. Be careful out there. Watch the meter count as fuel is being pumped.

PRESEC old student, Benjamin Darko with 5As works as a fuel attendant

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Benjamin Darko attended the Presbyterian Boys Senior High School in Legon, of the Greater Accra Region.

Even though he passed the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in 2021 with 5As and 3Bs, he was working as a fuel attendant at a Goil fuel station.

His father, Kwabena Gyewu, told GHOne TV that he could not pay for Benjamin’s tertiary education since his income was not enough. Benjamin's goal is to work in biotechnology or medicine. However, the lack of money at home seemed to have crushed that goal.
