During an interview, Latifa recalled that she had to overcome significant doubts right after completing her LLB at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
Latifa speaks about Ghana School of Law
Latifa Teiya Fuseini was among the batch of new lawyers officially called to the Bar on Friday, October 10, 2025.
According to her, she was at a significant crossroads due to the low pass rate for the Ghana School of Law entrance exams. She claimed that, as a result, she was left with uncertainty about continuing her legal studies.
Right after schooling at KNUST, she narrated how she began exploring alternative career paths. She disclosed that she had considered pursuing a master's degree or exploring fields outside law.
However, thanks to her parents' unwavering support and encouragement, she was able to press forward. She disclosed that she was reminded about her potential with assurance that she was more than capable of succeeding.
"My parents just encouraged me. They just told me that I could definitely do it. So, that's just what happened," she said.
It is worth noting that Latifa Teiya Fuseini is the daughter of Alhaji Alhassan Bashir Fuseini, the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Sagnarigu.
She reiterated that she would not have made it this far without the strong support shown to her by her parents and close circle.

Ghanaian man bashes Ghana's Call-to-the-Bar culture
YEN.com.gh had earlier reported that a Ghanaian man trended on social media after delivering a humorous rant claiming the legal profession was overrated compared to science.
He mocked the 'Call to the Bar' ceremony and argued that science was based on facts while law relied on opinions, which are not factual enough.
The man, who later admitted to being jealous, congratulated law graduates but insisted science remained superior.
