She hoped that, participants would apply what they learnt to their daily life and the community as well.

The Municipal Chief Executive Mr. Mozart Kwaku Owuh thanked the teachers and the education authorities for organizing such programmes. He assured the students of full support from the Municipal Assembly, he promised each of the participating school of some quantities of desks.

Mr Owuh urged them to come back to the Municipality as winners with either first, second or third position from the regional level. He challenged them to take keen interest in Mathematics and Science as they can easily divert to other fields.

He however prayed that, one of the students present represent their school in the National Mathematics and science Quiz (NMSQ) in the near future. He encouraged the students to study hard so as they become successful person in future. Take your books and your bibleds seriously, he added.
