I dreamt of being in the army – Ken Ashigbey

The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Chamber of Telecommunication, Ken Ashigbey has disclosed that his involvement in numerous extracurricular activities almost put him on a different career path.
According to the Electrical Engineer, his involvement in his school’s cadet set him on the path of a military man until his mother intervened.
Ken Ashibey revealed this in an interview with Y 107.9 FM’s Rev Erskine on the Y Leaderboard Series.
“I have been involved in everything. I didn’t just go to school to learn books. I was a mass server in school and loved the cadet. One of my ambitions was to be in the military but my mother didn’t want me to”.
Ken who is an old boy of the St Augustine’s College noted that he was a member of the school’s cadet from Upper One (1) to Upper (6) and would have easily transitioned into the military if his mother had allowed him.
“I have people I trained with in the cadet now in the military with some being Colonels and others being Lieutenant Colonels. I would’ve been a colonel or something by now”, he reiterated.
Regardless of having not joined the army, Ken says being in the cadet has paid off as “The cadet has shaped me and made me who I am now”.
