In his remarks following the event, Mr. Frank Yeboah, who also serves as the CEO of the Frank Yeboah Foundation, commended all participants for their hard work and highlighted the broader purpose of the spelling bee. He explained that the initiative aims to create future leaders and professionals in fields like engineering, nursing, and civil service, which he hopes will contribute to the development of Atwima Nwabiagya North and Ghana as a whole.
“It is inspiring to see these young students work so hard and perform so well,” Mr. Yeboah said. “Our goal is to encourage their academic growth and give them the confidence to pursue rewarding careers. One day, I hope to see them become leaders who contribute to our constituency and our nation.”
