Lady Julia Osei Tutu, the wife of Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, recently inspired school children to develop self-confidence, emphasizing its crucial role in achieving success and overcoming challenges.

Speaking at the Lady Julia's Mentorship Masterclass 2025 program held at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, she encouraged the students to believe in themselves, their abilities, and their dreams.

Lady Julia highlighted the importance of self-confidence in shaping their future, stating that it is the key to unlocking their potential and achieving greatness.

She also emphasized that developing self-confidence will have numerous benefits, including improved academic achievement and performance, relationships and social interactions, increased ability to cope with challenges and setbacks, and fostered positive self-image and mental well-being.

The program, organized by the Otumfuo II Foundation, was part of the International Women's Day celebration under the theme "Accelerate Action: Together We Can Force Women's Equality."

Prof. Rita Akosua Dickson, the Vice Chancellor of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, also encouraged women's participation in technology, emphasizing the need to broaden their horizons.
