Reminiscing his early days as young students, he revealed that his father never bought new shirts for 10 years because he was devoted in sacrificing for, he and his siblings to make it in life. “So, the point I’m making is that, the value you put in education also dictate how well you can look after your children.”
Taking his turn on the Y Leaderboard Series aired on Y107.9 FM’s “Myd Morning Radio Show with Rev Erskine the former Agona East MP said, “As a parent, if you think about yourself first, you’ll probably not take good care of your children, you won’t be able to give them the best because you always want to buy the latest car and other things. My father was a selfless man and he invested into our education and that the best gifts he gave us.”
He continued to advised parents that “there is no investment greater than educating your children, when you give them education to certain level, and you don’t leave them any property is a great thing to do. So that where I love talking to parent, keep an eye on your children, sacrifice for them.
