Oheneba Kwame Kyeretwie, the son of the Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has been admitted to study Astronomy at Wesleyan University in North Carolina, United States of America.
The price will very soon be studying the branch of science that deals with celestial objects, space, and the physical universe as a whole.
According to a social media account, “Ashanti Nation”, which shared the news online, there is currently no public university in Ghana that offers Astronomy as a degree program.
“Traditional universities are now getting involved academically but don’t yet offer full degrees in astronomy. KNUST (Kumasi) hosted the first national Astronomy & Space Science Conference in November 2023, signaling growing student interest,” the post stated.
Nana Kwame Kyeretwie, shared his emotions on graduation day, Saturday, June 21, 2025, highlighting the presence of his parents and the attention surrounding the occasion.
The Asanteman prince, who also served as Head Boy of DPS International Ghana in Tema, Greater Accra Region, was featured in a video shared on X (formerly Twitter). When asked how he felt, Nana Kwame Kyeretwie responded:
“I feel great, but nervous. Everyone is here and all the cameras are on me.”

All the Best Oheneba 👍
