After completing a good study at KNUST, he was awarded a French scholarship that allowed him to attend the University of Montpelier. In 1977, MIT honored him for his outstanding contribution to the modeling and simulation of chemical processes; he later received his PhD from Montpelier University.

ACHIEVEMENTS
His colossal contribution to the development of Optic Fibre and Nanotechnology was his “premus” and most renowned accomplishment. He has received various engineering-related honors. He received the Percy Julian Award, the Golden Torch Award, the NSBE’s highest honor, the William Grimes Award, and the Eminent Engineers award from AIChE.
He also got the title for finest Chemical Engineer in the history of KNUST. His works include “The Right Stuffs Comes in Black Too” and “Nanotechnology Commercialization.”

Let us together show one of Africa’s technological titans awe-inspiring respect. For all Africans, greatness awaits those who accept the hardships of the present; it is up to us to embrace the struggles for a brighter future.
