The Ghana Constitution Quiz Competition, organised by the Asuogyaman District Directorate of the NCCE, ended with Akosombo Wesley Methodist Basic School emerging as the winner. The event, held at the Wesley Methodist Church Auditorium in Akosombo, was part of activities marking Ghana’s 68th Independence Day celebrations.

After three competitive rounds, Wesley Methodist Basic secured first place with 55 points, followed by VRA Presby Basic with 48 points and VRA Nuriya Islamic Basic in third place with 43 points.

Mr. Alexander Boakye Yiadom, District Director of NCCE, commended the Ghana Education Service (GES), head teachers, teachers, and students for their participation.

He also encouraged participants to follow NCCE’s social media channels for timely updates on programmes undertaken.
