"I want to thank Kasapreko for their kind gesture and this package, which will inspire me as I strive to achieve excellence. I am hopeful of making the necessary as I step out into the world of work and contribute my quota to the development of Ghana, "he said.

"I want to thank Kasapreko for this laudable initiative, but I will entreat them to support the establishment of a graduate school structure that has been planned."

"I would also urge Adraku-Tawia to make good use of this opportunity offered by Kasapreko and make the necessary impact in the field of engineering.
