Founder of The New Force, Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as Cheddar, has noted that he dropped out of school at age 18 to pursue his own business.
He was studying business administration at Westminster University in the United Kingdom. In an interview, Cheddar noted that he sought to gain his skills practically, instead of being fed with the knowledge in a lecture room.
As such, Cheddar does not have a degree from any recognised tertiary institution in the country or any part of the world.
Asked whether he has any degree from any university during an interview on Citi TV’s Face to Face show, he said, “I don’t.”
The host, Umaru Sanda, then asserted that should he, Cheddar, want to fill out a form for a job qualification, his highest qualification would be a Senior Secondary School Examination (SSCE) certificate.
“Well, if you can call it that,” Cheddar replied.
Cheddar dismissed the assertion that, as a president without a university degree, he would not be able to lead his subjects, who are professors and doctors.
Several netizens who have reacted to this video indicated that it does not take one’s academic qualifications to govern; hence, Cheddar would have no issues being president with his current academic qualifications.
