A brilliant young man who previously participated in the National Science and Maths Quiz qualifiers has excelled in his WASSCE.
Genius Kwasi Frimpong scored a straight 8As in the exam. However, the joy of this achievement has been tempered by the realisation that he may be unable to further his education due to financial constraints.

Genius, a General Arts student selected by his school to represent them at the NSMQ qualifiers due to his brilliance, comes from a poor home.
He struggles to make ends meet and lacks the financial resources to enable him to further his education.
During his school days, the young man worked as a labourer on a farm to ensure he received money for his upkeep.
Genius aspires to be a computer engineer and wants to further his education abroad.
However, he fears that despite securing a good grade, he might be unable to continue his studies due to financial challenges.
Although he makes GH¢70 a day as a labourer on the farm, this is barely enough to meet his daily needs and fund his tertiary education.
The young man is therefore appealing to the general public to come to his aid with financial support to enable him to further his education.
