On behalf of Abdul R F Baba: I am truly honored by your selfless choice and dedication to help nurture a continent from the depths of inability to the heights of possibility. What you do, helps liberate some of us and even give us more reason to believe and hope that there is a chance for Africa to transform. It’s time we Africans redefined our paradigms and that’s exactly what you are helping us do. I proudly salute you for your efforts.
I have said it before and I will not mind repeating it all over. I have nothing but praise for Dr. P. Awuah. I have been closely following what is going on at Ashesi and all I can see is the work and vision of a great leader. I pray that you never give up on your sublime project.
Ashesi has had great success in its first 10 years. 95% of Ashesi grads stay in Africa and work for efficiency, transparency, and economic progress. They create innovative technical solutions and new business and finance models for Africa.
Ashesi plans to double its impact in the next years. I urge you to learn more, and consider being part of the Ashesi solution, as http://www.ashesi.org
I for one, respect Patrick Awuah to the highest degree, I deem him as one of the greatest Ghanaian after Kwame Nkrumah, he will surely go down in history. I look forward to walk in his steps and to be part of the change Africa needs after I graduate from Ashesi. God Bless Ashesi, Ghana and Africa
I’m so inspired. African needs more universities like Ashesi. I desperately want to be a part of such transformation. I’m enrolling into Ashesi immediately.
Thank you Dr. Patrick.
I have been following what goes on at Ashesi and there is always something new to learn when I visit their website: http://ashesi.edu.gh/. Congrats Dr Awuah!
Yes indeed this are the messages that we need to bring about positive change in Africa. I believe we all need to do our part in bringing this change as early as possible. God richly bless you indeed for this message. We will try doing our part in any meaningful way to bring about this change. Thanks again and stay blessed.
Meeting Patrick personally has redefined life for me. His simplicity and concern for Africa beats beyond my imagination. Surely, Africa needs just FOUR more Patricks and it would be a better place.
If there’s one man I’d like to meet in Ghana, it’s Dr. Patrick Awuah. He has proven to us that ethical leadership and innovative thinking is the way for Africa. I’ve met some Ashesi alumnae and they’re truly exceptional. An Ashesi education is a great investment. Can’t wait for them to start post graduate programmes.
Thank you Patrick Awuah, i am mesmerized by your vision for Africa. I am impressed by your determination to inspire young people to think of ethical leadership as a foundation for a better Africa.previously i wondered what was ailing Africa, but now i never trouble myself wondering because i know the only solution to Africa social problem is to develop social innovators. i am focused and i know many of my fellow youths are determined to see what has been termed -African curse- escape.
When i read such articles my question of who will inspire young people is answered- people like Patrick are the great inspiration. we need to give them visibility, we need to encourage the media to give them more airtime so as to impart fresh and different knowledge of zealous and tenacity towards building a just Africa.
i totally agree with Patrick that Africa needs home grown local talent to solve today’s problem and prevent tomorrow’s catastrophe just like i have argued in my article https://agakimweberi.wordpress.com/2015/04/25/strategic-collaboration-and-partinership-a-way-to-save-africa-from-poverty-corruption-and-global-warming/
Congratulation to you Dr. Patrick. You are a gift to Africa. I look forward to working and collaborating with you on this noble idea and vision. God bless you. God bless Africa.
Dr Patrick is on point and very much on the right path. What’s critical at this stage is to scale the solution so that its impact is quickly felt. At an enrollment of rate of 500 students per year its probably going to take Ghana 3o to 50 years to feel the real impact of this nobel idea. For the rest of africa more than a century and Africa does not have all that time.
what will aspire to do is to leverage on the actions Dr Patrick took. One action that standout is that DR Patrick had the opportunity to look at Africa from the point of view of an outsider as an American graduate, this realisation is very critical and it must be shared or pushed to all african graduates in American or Western Universities. I would what to believe that it is the culture, the ethics and the discipline that one gets from these institutions that makes them focused, ethical and critical thinkers.
American universities can partner with established African Universities. More importantly is 120% government involvement, through new policies that address this need for change in curriculum, this will seem impossible but let me live you with Mandela ....It always seems impossible until it’s done

This piece reminded me of something I did earlier on: http://oralofori.blogspot.com/2012/06/intolerance-peoples-silent-destroyer.html and since I loved it so much, I also shared it on my blog: http://oralofori.blogspot.com/2012/06/patrick-awuah-believes-that-to-change.html in support of #Ghana & #TheAfricanDream

“To change Africa’s future, we must change the mindset of young Africans in college today”
Thank you so much Patrick. That line captures what we do with Newaccra Magazine.
