On 8th August 2025, the campus of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) played host to the transformative “After School, What Next?” summit — an event designed to equip students with insights and strategies for life beyond the lecture halls.
Among the notable speakers was John Sam, CEO of John Sam Realty, whose engaging presentation left a lasting impression on both students and fellow professionals. Drawing from his personal journey in the real estate industry, John Sam shared valuable lessons on perseverance, adaptability, and seizing opportunities.
In his address, he challenged students to view graduation not as an end, but as the beginning of a journey that demands vision, resilience, and continuous learning. He stressed the importance of networking, building strong personal brands, and embracing innovation as tools for success in today’s competitive job market.
“I was truly inspired by the energy and ambition of the students,” he remarked after the session. “The future of Ghana is in capable hands, and I believe this generation has the potential to transform industries and communities.”
The summit brought together a vibrant mix of students, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders, creating an atmosphere of shared ideas and collective inspiration. However, it was John Sam’s practical wisdom and motivational delivery that many attendees cited as the highlight of the day.
By the close of the event, his message had ignited a sense of purpose among the young audience, encouraging them to take ownership of their futures and chart bold paths forward.
