He is expected to pay his fees by January 14, 2025, but has been unable to raise the funds needed to support his education.
Ibrahim comes from a poor background. His mum sells koko and his dad repairs electrical gadgets. Despite their efforts to support their ward, the earnings from their businesses are not enough to send him to school.
Sagoe wants to further his education and excel in his field to impact his community and beyond. However, due to financial challenges, this seems like a dream that will never materialise.
Therefore, he has appealed to the general to come to his aid and support him with any amount to enable him to enrol at the university.
Aspiring KNUST student discusses his life, goals
Ibrahim wrote WASSCE two years ago
Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh, Ibrahim indicated that he wrote his WASSCE two years ago. After the West African Examination Council (WAEC) released his results, he realised he had scored a good grade that could gain him admission to school.
However, he did not enrol in school that year because he did not have the funds to further his education. He instead got a job to help him earn money and after two years, has raised GH¢2,500.
KNUST is the best university
While interacting with YEN.com.gh, Sagoe explained why he chose KNUST as the tertiary institution he wanted to enrol in.
"It's the best tertiary in West Africa with well-trained lectures and everything. And per the course I want to offer, KNUST is the best option for me," he said.
Aspiring KNUST student appeals for support
The young man further appealed to Ghanaians to help him, stressing that he had limited time to meet the requirements.
"They [KNUST students] have even started making payments for course registrations, but due to financial difficulties I'm still at home," he said.
Anyone who can assist Ibrahim with his dream can reach him via his phone number: 055 432 8154.
Brilliant but needy SHS student seeks help
Earlier, YEN.com.gh also reported that a brilliant Ghanaian student was seeking help to further her education at a university.
Hajara Andorful gained admission to read Bachelor of Science in Electrical and Electronic Engineering at AAMUSTED.
However, she would lose her place without financial support and appealed to Ghanaians for help with tuition costs.
