The Ashanti Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Yandoh, has publicly said he prefers to earning multiple master’s degrees than pursuing a PhD.

According to him, a PhD comes with no tangible benefits, asserting that individuals who hold such titles often have little to show for it.

To Yandoh, he prefers to pursue a master’s degree instead, as he believes it comes with a certain level of prominence and tangible benefits.

“Those with PhDs often struggle financially. The ‘Dr’ title alone comes with nothing, but the benefits associated with a master’s degree is huge.

“Many individuals who hold the ‘Dr’ title have little to show for it beyond the designation itself,” he said in an Asempa FM interview.

The politician, to the surprise of many, disclosed that he holds three master’s degrees, justifying his preference with clear reasoning.

Paul Yandoh recently earned another master’s degree, graduating from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, on Saturday, June 28, 2025, in the Ashanti Region.
