In his opening remarks, the Dean of School of Business and Economics, Mr. Ebenezer Agyeman Badu commended the participated schools about their preparation and commitment that ensured the success of the programme.<\/p>\n

He disclosed that the Department plans to extend the Business and Economics quiz to cover the Eastern Region and the country as a whole in the near future.\u00a0 He believes that this would make the study of Business and Economics attractive at both the Senior High School and the Tertiary levels.<\/p>\n

The tutors of the participating schools shared similar views as they expressed the delight about the organisation of the competition and encouraged the University to extend the competition to the national level.<\/p>\n

The students who contested for their schools also expressed their joy for being part of the maiden completion. They agreed that the competition has set the tone for them to prepare well towards their final examination.<\/p>\n

They were of the opinion that extending it to the national level will help the study of business and economics in the Senior High Schools.<\/p>\n
