The three won various categories of the competition.

Participants were taken through leadership sessions, employability, project management and brand building among others.
The five day competition which ended on Saturday January 13 2013, saw Chineye Okore-Onu, a level 200 business administration student of RADFORD UNIVERSITY COLLEGE emerging as miss congeniality.
Two other award winners also of the university, Paul Damalie, a level 300 business administration student emerged as the “most likely future president”, while Joyce Chachu, a level 200 Graphic Design student was crowned, “the iron lady” of the competition.
Presenting their trophies officially to the university, the acting President, Professor D.E. Amenume, challenged the students to eschew complacency and forge ahead for even greater laurels.
The acting executive chairman of the university, Nana Dwomoh Sarpong, commended the students, and appreciated their perseverance.
