Four weeks after Joy Sports revealed that Ghanaian high jumper, Evans Cadman Yamoah, owed school fees in the United States and was at risk of getting kicked out of school, the school's administration has intervened to pay off his debt and he is now set to graduate on December 14.

Cadman, 24, who won gold for Ghana at the African Games in March this year, told Joy Sports last month that the University of Central Missouri, where he had been on scholarship until this year, was threatening to halt his graduation for failure to pay tuition fees of up to 15,000 dollars.

He further revealed that efforts to solicit help from Ghanaian sports authorities, including the Sports Ministry, had yielded no results.

But shortly after the Joy Sports interview, the former University of Ghana student said UCM authorities upon seeing a video of the interview, immediately started taking steps to help him out.

"The good thing is that my management here, that's the Athletics Director and the University President saw the video and then called me up for a meeting to figure out a way to help me out," he said in a whatsapp voice note sent to Joy Sports.

"We all sat down to analyse what was going on and how best they could help me. There was a gap in communication somewhere.

"It was the failure of one party to inform the rest of the stakeholders so that's how come the top management didn't know about my situation.

"They were all surprised and they decided to help me out. So they promised to pay my tuition. I know people just make promises and don't fulfill it so I was just hoping they carried through which indeed they did.

"So I am here today to inform you that my tuition has been paid off and I am scheduled to graduate this Saturday."

Cadman expressed gratitude to Joy Sports for picking up the story and to all who worked to bring the matter to a logical conclusion.

"I want to express my profound gratitude for you leading this conversations, spearheading this interview and all that and trying to provide solutions to this situation.

"I also want to use you as a medium to tell everyone how grateful I am for their support, for those who reached out to me, for those who included me in their prayers. I want to say thank you to everyone."

The former University of Ghana student, roared on by students of the university who trooped to support their alumnus, scaled a height of 2.23m to claim the gold ahead of Morocco's Hammouda Saad and South Africa's Benjamin Links Mpho during the African Games in March.
