Students of KNUST are currently mourning the loss of Miss Josephine Nana Adwoa Asmah, a recent Computer Engineering graduate and former Women’s Commissioner for the Geography and Environmental Science Association (GESA), who tragically passed away in a car accident on December 16, 2024.
Reports indicate that Josephine was travelling in a car when the driver, reportedly speeding, lost control of the vehicle, causing it to somersault.
Tragically, she was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the car which made her sustain fatal head injuries.
According to her colleagues, Josephine was a bring and ambitious young woman whose recent graduation marked the beginning of a promising future.
As the immediate past Women’s Commissioner for GESA, she was celebrated for her dedication to advocating for women’s empowerment and fostering a supportive environment for students.
Her contributions to the KNUST community will be remembered for years to come.
In a poignant twist of fate, Josephine had recently shared a heartfelt post mourning the loss of another KNUST student, Afia Dedaa, who also passed away in a similar car accident. Her words in that post now serve as a sombre reminder of the fragility of life.
