Sulemana was born in Tuna, a small hamlet in the Savanna region.
He joined the university of Ghana before moving to the University of Missouri in 2008 to pursue his studies and eventually a PhD in Economics. He returned to Ghana in 2014 to teach at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA).
“At GIMPA, there was no air conditioning in my office.” “I complained to everyone I could, and they thought having air conditioning in a lecturer’s office was a luxury,” he added.
That pretty much sums up his dissatisfaction. He left GIMPA two years later for a position at the University of Ghana, where he stated things improved but not enough.
“By the time I arrived in Legon, my monthly pay was less than $5,000.” “This implies I made a lot more money as a graduate student in the United States than I did as a full-time instructor in Ghana,” he explained.
He left the University of Ghana after only two years and returned to the United States to work as a banker.
University professors, like Dr. Sulemaana, continue to leave in droves. Many others, like Dr. Annor, are simply biding their time till their turn comes.
“If we could just make workers’ lives a little simpler.” Just a smidgeon. That way, we could tackle a lot of problems in our country,” adds Dr. Sulemaana.
