ACHIEVEMENT 1: INTRODUCTION POST BY @gafhin

Am Tahiru Abdul-Gafaru, IT student of the CKT-University of Technology and Applied Science. I live in Tamale in the northern part of Ghana.

I am 38 years of age, I started my primary school at Damongo in the Savana region then part of Northern region and continued in class 2 in Tamale, the capital city of Northern region in 1992. In 1996 I continued my JHS education in St. Paul’s Junior High School and preceded Nobisco for my secondary education in 2002. In 2007 in enrolled at Tamale Polytechnic to offer Higher National Diploma and proceeded to the University of Education Kumasi campus to offer Diploma in Education in order to secure a job in the teaching field. While in my final lap of my teaching course I applied to the University of Cape to offer Bachelor of Management Studies in 2013.

In 2007 during my final year in Tamale Polytechnic, I had employment with the Ghana Education Service to teach at the Basic Level and this called for my admission into University of Education. In 2017 I had an assurance at Pong Tamale Senior High School to teach ICT, subsequently I became the Head of Department for the ICT Department though I holding a management certificate. I decided to apply to the University for Development Studies now CKT-University of Applied Science and Technology where am currently studying another degree in Information Technology programme in order to meet the requirements of my job as a teacher of ICT.

I practice journalism as freelancer by way of presenting issues pertaining to my environment and drawing the attention of stakeholders to address challenges confronting the community. In search of platforms that will help me showcase the activities of my environment and as well make some income from such platforms I came across one or two crypto currencies online which did not give me the needed results, fortunately a friend by name @nurdeen told me about steemit. He guided me to register and explained some of the features of the platform to me.

I believe steemit platform will grant me the opportunities that I seek following the security processes before registering on it.
