Ghanaian student, Ebenezer Azamati elected as president of Oxford University’s African Society

A visually impaired student of the University of Oxford, Ebenezer Azamati, has been elected as the new president of the institution’s African Society (AfriSoc).

This was announced in a tweet by AfriSoc on Saturday as it unveiled the new executives of the Society.

Mr Azamati will take over administrative affairs from Kenyan, Elisha Ngetich, who had been serving in the role.

Historically, Mr Azamati started his PhD in October 2020 after excelling during the rigorous scholarship application process.

 

He is currently on the Cambridge International Scholarship, which was started in the 1980s, and is reserved for students from outside the European Union, who would ordinarily fail to make it to Oxford without financial support.

He studied at the University of Ghana before gaining admission to read Masters of Science in International Politics at the University of London’s School of Oriental and African Studies.

So, as the President of AfriSoc, Mr Azamati is expected to champion the agenda of African students and the extensive alumni in various leadership positions all over the world.
