The National Science and Maths Quiz was held in the Ashanti regional capital Kumasi for the first time since its inception.
The 'host and win' agenda by the schools in Kumasi finally became a reality when the ‘Seniors’ floored their competitors with an outstanding brilliance to claim the trophy glory.
Five! Five is all that ran through the minds and lips of all those who supported Prempeh’s journey in the 2021 NSMQ from the beginning through to the finals.
Meanwhile, the old students of Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (Presec Legon) have revealed that they will petition organisers of National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ), Primetime Limited, over what they say is a “raw deal” during the competition’s finals.
They believe the quiz was tipped in favour of the 2021 victors.
