All these great people shared their life story and encouraged us to be positive irrespective of the situation. Farouk Aliu Mahama (son of the late Vice President of Ghana) as part of his speech said"I feel emotional when saying this but my father use to tell me,I was never the son of a vice President,My mother use to sell Hausa KoKo in yendi where we use to sit by the pot with a single school uniform for the whole week but it never stopped me from achieving my dreams.

You don't need to be born with the silver spoon before you make it. Just believe in yourself and as my Oldman use to say and "Do the right thing". The event was worth Attending and NSU UPSA wishes to take this opportunity to extend gratitude to all and sundry who in one way or the way made this memorable event possible.
