I Invested My School Fees to Make Profit: Young Student Fails Payment Deadline, University Takes Action

• A gentleman who is a student at KNUST has revealed that he failed to pay his school fees because he invested the money
• According to him, he expected to make returns on his investment before any serious action would be taken by the school but that did not happen
• He is one of the 6,000 students who have been deferred by the school simply because they failed to pay their school fees

One of the students at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology who was affected by the mass deferment of learners who failed to pay their fees has revealed why he failed to meet the deadline.

They gave me the money

In a short interview with TV3 News, the gentleman mentioned that his parents actually gave him the full amount for his school fees but he decided to invest it in a business with the hope that returns will be made on it in the near future.

"My parents are actually not aware of this but I invested my school fees in a business. I did not think this directive by the school will come so soon. I wanted to make some returns before paying the money. I blame myself," he said.

How Ghanaians are reacting to this

Below were some comments Ghanaians shared under the video.

Olyvia Dayana III said:

"This isn't funny, in the end, you are affirming the university's claim and it's poor students who genuinely don't have much to pay on time, who'll suffer."

Caleb Calvin Akwetey-Addo indicated:

"The reasons why these 6000 students couldn't pay their fees never make sense to me. Even if some will do that they can't be more than 20%. These are just strategies to not let people blame the inability for the students to pay their fees to the current hardship in the country."
