Dabanyi, 20, enrolled at KNUST but needed help to fund his medical education due to financial constraints and his family's deprived background. The BSc Human Biology student at the School of Medicine and Dentistry at KNUST received financial support from the CEO.
Funding support
He collected a cheque of N1.3 million from Tang in the presence of his mother and three brothers, said the GNA.
Tang pledged to support Dabanyi's six-year medical education with an annual fund of N1.3 million to be paid in July yearly; N655,000 will be delivered to the university, and the remaining N655,000 will be given to the learner for his upkeep.
Dabanyi aspires to graduate, become a surgeon or neurosurgeon, and give back to his community. His achievement and WASSCE results were posted on LinkedIn by the business organisation, which received accolades.
