At just 13 years old, Melchizedek Adio Baafawiise, a BSc. Physics student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has taken a step closer to his aviation dreams; the young scholar recently boarded a private jet, courtesy of businessman and aviation enthusiast Ibrahim Mahama. Mahama, impressed by Melchizedek’s academic excellence—securing five As and three Bs in the WASSCE at an exceptionally young age—extended the rare invitation to inspire the young prodigy.
During the exclusive tour, Melchizedek gained firsthand insights into the aviation industry, with Mahama sharing guidance on career paths in piloting and aeronautics. The experience, according to the young scholar, has rekindled his childhood dream of becoming a pilot.
Currently, Melchizedek is focused on his Physics degree, using the opportunity to deepen his scientific knowledge before deciding on his future career path. His journey continues to inspire many, proving that age is no barrier to academic excellence and big aspirations.
