What you need to know about Ghana's youngest medical doctor, Kwaku Boakye Gyamfi.![]()
![]()
Kwaku Boakye Gyamfi was born in 2001 to his dad, a Business and Financial Advisor, and his mom, who works as a caterer. ![]()
![]()
His journey to becoming a doctor started at a very young age. ![]()
![]()
At the age of five, he began going to school at Danem Royal Montessori School in Accra, the capital of Ghana. Surprisingly, by the time he was 13 in 2014, he had already finished his primary school education. In that same year, Gyamfi got into Prempeh College Senior High School in Ghana's Ashanti region for his high school education. What's even more amazing is that he completed his high school diploma at the age of 16 in 2017. ![]()
![]()
The same year, he sat for a tough interview and got accepted into the UCC School of Medical Sciences, where he started his medical journey. ![]()
![]()
On September 7, 2023, at the age of 22, Gyamfi celebrated graduating from the UCC School of Medical Sciences. He is the second child in his family and the only son among his four siblings. His achievements have filled his parents, friends, and extended family with pride. ![]()
![]()
However, he's not the only one to have achieved this. Two years before, Erica Maame Abena Pomaa Ntiamoah Mensah also became one of the youngest doctors in Ghana when she was just 21. She finished her medical program at the Accra College of Medicine. ![]()

The Cement Producers Association of Nigeria forecasts that the price of cement will increase from ₦5000 to ₦9000 due to the Federal Government’s plan to introduce concrete roads. ![]()
![]()
The National Chairman of CPAN, Prince David Iweta and National Secretary Chief Reagan Ufomba, revealed this while hailing the Minister of Works, David Umahi for his position on constructing roads with cement. ![]()
![]()
In a statement, the association accessed that failure to address the supply end would end in dire consequences for Nigerians.![]()
![]()
However, they have urged Federal Government to emphasise road designs that allow both cement technology and asphalt pavement to run concurrently. ![]()
![]()
The statement read in part, “Our findings from various parts of the country show that cement sells for as high as N6000 per bag in the rainy season. Our prediction is that it will sell for over N9,000 per bag in the dry season, especially with the pronouncement of the Honourable Minister of Works on cement technology and the marching order on housing by Mr President if the government does not take proactive steps.![]()
![]()
“While we commend the Honourable Minister’s position on cement-made roads, we warn of the dire consequences if the supply end is not properly addressed. In fact, it would amount to dereliction of duty not to intervene. And the time is now. To do otherwise is to continue in a worsening pipe dream that prices would suddenly drop on this essential input that will continue to drain the purse of Nigerians, render them homeless, encourage chaos between demand and supply, and worsen the infrastructure deficit it sets out to cure, and lead to an unprecedented price hike."![]()
