The graduate marked the moment by sharing a series of photographs on his official Instagram page, captioned simply, "Onto the next."
Among those pictured alongside Nevlonne and his father was Joshua Akuffo Dampare, another of George Dampare's sons who gained public recognition in 2024 as a former aspirant for the presidency of the University Students' Association of Ghana (USAG).
