Van Vicker studies law at Wisconsin University
The graduation of Van Vicker's daughter comes after the actor was admitted to study law at Wisconsin International University.
In an interview with YEN.com.gh, the actor explained that it would take him two years to complete his programme at Wisconsin, after which he would proceed to the Ghana School of Law for two years.
"I'm studying for a law degree at Wisconsin and God willing, I will become a lawyer in 2027. I will complete Wisconsin and enrol in the law school proper for two years," he said.
Sharing his motivation, he indicated that his interest in becoming a lawyer was also to support J'dyl's career after she completed her law degree.
"Me becoming a lawyer will serve as a form of backing structure for my daughter, who is also studying law at Leicester University," he said, adding that the idea of practising together with J'dyl is "desirable, conceivable, and feasible."
