He said the "POJOBA mentorship program has come to stay as part of the association's calendar events."
On his part the President of the KNUST Global Alumni Association, Dr Kwaku Agbesi who is an old student used the occasion to call on the Ministry of Education to explore ways to engage Mentors World Network to extend the program nationwide for all senior high schools.
Mentors World Network, the CRS arm of Lead-it Africa, were the technical partners who structured the 2-day mentorship program.
