Popular Ghanaian businessman, Captain Prince Kofi Amoabeng (Rtd) has painted a nostalgic and mouthwatering image of university life in the 1970s, recalling how students were not only well-fed and pampered, but were also paid to study.
In an interview with Kafui Dey, Capt Kofi Amoabeng, who studied at the University of Ghana, Legon, between 1971 and 1974, described the campus routine as "cozy - very, very, very cozy." He recalled that students enjoyed three square meals with options, from things like boiled yam to salad and chicken and even ice cream, as well as tea and coffee stations available to them. "You have three square meals with options.
You can decide I don't like yam, I want salad and chicken.
And you chose what you wanted.
