The founder and Chief Executive Officer of one of Africa\u2019s most celebrated firms recently donated cybersecurity laboratories- fully equipped with computers and other necessities \u2013 to the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and Presbyterian University Ghana to enhance student learning and realise the schools\u2019 vision to provide cutting-edge education, technology and research in cybersecurity. The company will also commission another state-of-the art cybersecurity laboratory for the University of Ghana in the first quarter of 2025.

But what has touched many hearts is the extension of Mr Asiedu-Sekyere\u2019s benevolence to a brilliant, needy teenager \u2013 Samuel Naawinoong Noakwa in Kwadwo Nkansa, a deprived community in Eastern Region. The little gem scored seven \u2018As\u2019 and a B in the 2024 West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) but was unable to afford fees for tertiary education due to his parents\u2019 deprived condition. Luck however found Mr. Noakwa when his pastor travelled from Nkwakaw to Accra and pointed him and his stellar results to Mr. Asiedu-Sekyere\u2019s office, leading to the award of a fully-paid scholarship for the Kwadwo Nkansa native to study a four-year Bachelor\u2019s degree in Information Communication Technology at the Presbyterian University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was touched by his plight but inspired by his results when I heard the story,\u201d the founder and CEO of Virtual InfoSec Africa said.\u201cIf a boy can make those stellar grades in spite of the harsh conditions he found himself in, then he can be a gem if given the right support and guidance,\u201d he said.

Vice Chancellor of the Presbyterian University, Ghana, Prof. John Ofosu-Anim said Mr. Asiedu-Sekyere is a blessing to the university and mankind, given his benevolence. He said the cybersecurity laboratory is of immense benefit to the school and university, making it possible for the school to train Ghana\u2019s next generation of cybersecurity-savvy professionals. He spoke about the extended scholarships worth US$150,000 to more than 100 students of the Presbyterian University, Ghana. According to Prof. Ofosu-Anim: \u201cMr Sekyere\u2019s gesture is transformative and underscores his commitment to empowering students with globally recognised credentials and equipping them for success in the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity,\u201d he said. He noted that the scholarships to students also augment the university\u2019s efforts to bridge the funding gap and expressed hope that many Ghanaians will emulate Mr. Asiedu-Sekyere\u2019s philanthropy. \u201cWe need givers, we need donors and he is showing the way. My hope is that we will get many more Asiedu-Sekyeres to come to aid the university and many brilliant, needy students nationwide,\u201d Prof. Ofosu-Anim said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.presbyuniversity.edu.gh\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-02-17-at-10.54.27.jpeg?resize=640%2C530&ssl=1\")
