A Ghanaian scholar currently living in the United States has shared his experience living overseas as he compares the system there and the system in Ghana.

The man known as Dr Nashiru Sulemana hails from Tuna, a town in Savanna and he hold a PhD in Economics after studying at the University of Missouri.

He then moved to Ghana to lecture at the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration in 2014. (GIMPA).

According to a publication by Ghbase.com, Dr Nashiru moved to University of Ghana to work there but conditions although was better than GIMPA was inadequate.

He finally left UG after working there for two weeks and traveled to the United States where he worked as a banker and he claims that being a student there, he earned more than being a lecturer in Ghana.

He had the following to say:

“At GIMPA, even my office had no air-conditioning. I complained to everyone I could complain to and people thought it was a luxury for a lecturer to have an air-condition in his office.”

“By the time I came to Legon, my salary was less than ¢5,000 a month. This means I earned so much more being a graduate student in the US than being a full-time lecturer in Ghana.”

“When I was about to complete my PhD, I started looking at opportunities back home. When I decided to return, my friends questioned me. They asked why I am making this decision but I came home.”

“If we could try and make life easier for workers. Just a little bit. We could solve many problems in this country that way,” says Dr Sulemana.
