On Friday, July 9, 2021, the Citi FM Literacy Challenge team visited the Ministry of Health Basic School and the Bishop Bowers School in Korle-Bu, Accra.
This is part of the team’s efforts to interact with students across the country and encourage them to participate in this year’s competition.
The team first made a stop at the Ministry of Health Basic School.
Some students found the topic for this year’s competition “a bit challenging.”
They are however willing to enter the competition and win the bragging rights.
Alexander Ohene Adomako said, “the topic for this year’s challenge is more challenging than the previous ones. This essay is going to require more convincing, but then, I am not going to let the opportunity slip by. I am going to give it my best shot.”
Naa Akushia Otoo, a second-year JHS student, is surprised at the blame game between Ghana National Fire Service and the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) that was witnessed after fire razed a three-storey building in Makola.
She feels the country should go beyond struggling for such basic amenities.
A second-year JHS student of the Bishop Bowers School, Mawuenam Ganyaglo is determined to win this year’s competition.
