The Ghanaian journalist, who worked with Accra-based Citi FM and Channel One TV, said the teacher has had a positive impact on his life.

Recall that in February this year, Umaru Sanda returned to his village to appreciate his former teachers, including Mr Affor, for the knowledge they imparted to him.

During the visit, Umaru Sanda presented each of the teachers with a new flat-screen smart television and an undisclosed amount of money.

A month after the heartwarming gesture, the Citi FM/TV broadcast journalist, singled out Mr Affor for special praise

In a Facebook post, the renowned broadcast journalist said he met Mr Affor in primary three, and the teacher took a special interest in his academic growth.

"Even though my teachers say I've always been smart in class, it was in Class 3 that I started feeling the smartness myself. I used to be the class reader from Class 2 as I recall, but in class 3, that skill improved tremendously."

"I mastered lots of things in Class 3, and I could feel that I was flying. There are lots of factors that contributed to it but one of them stood tall: Mr Affor," he wrote

He said Mr Affor, who was then a teacher in the primary six class, would often call him to his class to answer questions that the seniors couldn't.

Umaru Sanda said the teacher helped him tremendously improve his reading ability.

He also stated that aside from his academic growth, the teacher took an interest in his general well-being, ensuring that he obtained his birth certificate.

"Till this day, Mr Affor and my parents have a reciprocal policy of visiting each other and talking about my progress in life. It was therefore no surprise that his house was the first I entered when I arrived in the village with television sets and cash too," portions of the Facebook post read.
