The Director further called on the youth to embrace their civic duties and responsibilities, stressing that knowledge of the Constitution is essential for making informed decisions, exercising their rights, as well as serving as a guide towards the performance of their civic duties.

The quiz brought together students from Tongo Girls Model JHS, Wobil JHS (St Martin's JHS), Salvation Army JHS, and St. Theresa JHS.

The quiz consisted of three rounds with questions ranging from historical context, citizens' rights, responsibilities, and significant provisions within the Constitution. The competition was intense, with students displaying remarkable enthusiasm and teamwork.
