Dr George Akuffo Dampare, the Inspector-General of Police, has urged graduates of the 14th Congregation of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) to make a positive contribution to society as soon as they graduate.
The IGP claims that by offering value and assisting in the solution of global issues, they will be able to achieve financial stability because the value can be traded.
The IGP offered the counsel at his commencement address at the 14th Congregation of the UPSA in Accra on August 30, 2022.
“The world is waiting to celebrate you or punish you depending on what you throw at it. Let people benefit from your knowledge and skill set as you leave here today. As soon as people begin to benefit from your knowledge, then you’re providing value to others. You can commercialise this value and become financially stable and independent. Providing value also makes you very useful to the rest of the world,” the IGP said.
He also urged the graduands to be disciplined as they seek to change the world.
“You should continue to be disciplined if you want to make the world a better place. You should see failure as part of the process to success and never give up. With perseverance, a breakthrough will come. Don’t give up easily, if you do, you miss an opportunity to turn the world around”.
