I am Hon Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum. I was born on April 9, 1964, in Jachie in the Bosomtwe District, in the Ashanti Region, Ghana, to parents who were farmers. I lived through the humble beginnings in Jachie and Antobam in the Western North Region of Ghana. But, with hard work, education and determination, I have been able to achieve a measure success for myself and for Ghana.
