He emphasized the importance of discipline, reinvention, and the power of ideas to the eager audience. The musician, known for his award-winning music and business acumen, captivated the crowd with a performance and pledged to provide two years of free concerts for the SRC Week, as requested by the student leaders. In recognition of his contribution, the university awarded him a citation.\n\nShatta Wale described the day as more than just a talk, appreciating the students' enthusiasm. He took to social media to express his gratitude to the university's Vice-Chancellor, Prof. John Kwaku Mensah Mawutor, as well as the leadership, faculty, staff, and, most importantly, the students of the University of Professional Studies, Accra. He stated that the event was a meeting of minds, sharing not only his personal journey but also the mindset that drove that journey. He urged the students to focus on their thinking rather than copying his lifestyle, reminding them that their greatest asset is their mind. He encouraged them to protect, train, and nourish their minds with knowledge, believe in their ideas, and have the courage to think differently.",
