Man Who Did “Truck Push” to Support His Education, Now a Renowned Medical Practitioner, Shares His Story

Cursory: Dr. Titus Kofi Beyuo, the Deputy General Secretary of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), has opened up about his humble beginnings. The Ghanaian medical practitioner recalled how he used to push trucks for money to support his education and survive.

Deputy General Secretary of the Ghana Medical Association (GMA), Dr Titus Kofi Beyuo, has recounted his rise from poverty to becoming a medical practitioner. The Ghanaian doctor opened up about his education and difficult childhood due to his parent’s poor background.

In an interview on Joy News’ PM Express Personality Profile on Friday, November 18, he recounted that his parents tried to provide him and his other siblings with education though they did not recognise the value of schooling.

“… they gave everybody the opportunity but only the very first, and me (the very last) to cut the opportunity.”

Despite the many challenges that almost disrupted his quest to acquire formal education, he did not give up, instead he overcame them. He was able to have a proper system of education after he left Kocha, a community in the Northern Region to live with his older brother in Pong, Tamale.

Beyuo was a brilliant student as he served as the prefect at both the junior and senior secondary schools. However, he had to work menial jobs to support himself in school and make ends meet as he encountered most of the difficulties when he started schooling in Accra.

“… sometimes I used to miss school, because I used to push truck at the Tuesday market, to cart bags of maize to women who sold kenkey,” he recalled.

He elevated himself from grass to grace to become the chief scribe for one of the most respected professional associations in Ghana due to his determination and strong will.
