Van Vicker finally graduates from uni after 24 years

Ghanaian actor Van Vicker has finally graduated from school 24 years after his mates gained admission.

Dressed in a graduation robe, the movie star revealed via his Instagram page that while his mates were enrolling to go to the university in 1997, his single mother couldn't afford to send him to school.

"21years later, here I stand before you with 3 achievements during my graduation; to God be the Glory. 1. 1st class honors. 2. Best Student in Strategic communication. 3. Best Communication Student Award," he wrote.

"The above is within the context of my 2021 post on social media and is in no way presumptuous but uprightly to inspire - I could not enroll at a tertiary institution in 1997 because my single mother did not have the funds. If free SHS was available back in the day, most likely I would have graduated in 2000/2001."

"My career took off and I have been blessed but as someone who relishes education getting that degree was just a matter of time. I complete my Masters program this December and I am sorely motivated and committed to go even beyond, God willing. I thank all those who supported me and is supporting me during this journey. #educational #theyounggodfather."
