Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon and Deputy Minister for Food and Agriculture, John Dumelo, has extended a series of well-wishes to the three finalists of the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) competition, scheduled to take place at the University of Ghana’s Premier Dome at 3:00 pm. Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC-Legon), St Augustine’s College, and Accra Academy will be competing for the coveted NSMQ title, a prestigious event that has been a cornerstone of the nation’s academic landscape for many years. Mr. Dumelo, speaking ahead of the contest, offered his best wishes to all three institutions, adding a humorous jab that Accra Academy would not emerge victorious – a prediction that has generated considerable discussion and amusement. He stated, ‘Accra Academy will not win,’ adding a playful remark that the school ‘doesn’t fit.’ This is the first time the NSMQ grand finale will be hosted in the Ayawaso West Wuogon constituency, a significant development for the region. PRESEC-Legon, a veteran of the competition, is returning to the final after a two-year absence, seeking a record ninth title. St Augustine’s College, which has consistently achieved success in the NSMQ, is aiming to secure its third championship, bolstering its historical record. Mr. Dumelo acknowledged Accra Academy’s impressive run, noting that the school could still potentially pull off an upset during the final round. He expressed delight that the NSMQ grand finale is being held again in the constituency, describing the event as “good” and “great.” However, he declined to make any specific commitments to the competing schools or their students, joking that his ‘money finish’ and his current position as a prominent figure in the political sphere mean he’s no longer in a position to offer promises. The news of Mr. Dumelo’s graduate status from NMSQ 2017 Champions further highlights the significance of the competition within the national educational system. Furthermore, Accra Academy’s 2022 NMSQ conquest has received significant attention from Accra Academy’s rivals, with KiDi expressing considerable enthusiasm for the school’s achievement. The NSMQ 2026 grand finale is expected to draw a large crowd, and the event is anticipated to be a major cultural and academic event for the region.” , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,
