The Ga Central Municipal Assembly of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), on Friday, organised the 2025 edition of Governance Challenge Quiz for four schools in the Municipality.

In all, the schools included three private and a public school, comprising of Jamverson Academy, Glorious Pearls, Holy Child and Eagle of Greatness.
The Smart Governance Challenge is an annual Civic Education initiative designed to make learning about the 1992 Constitution more engaging and practical for the public.
Branding the programme this way, the NCCE seeks to encourage young people to connect constitutional principles with good governance and responsible citizenship in a fun and competitive setting.
Initially, Glorious Pearls and Holy Child tied for second place. To break the tie, additional questions were posed to the two schools, after which Glorious Pearls took second place while Holy Child placed third.
Jamverson School took the first prize with 29 points.
In his speech, Mr Emmanuel Adotey Allotey, the Municipal Chief Executive of Ga Central Municipal Assembly, encouraged the pupils to take the study of the constitution seriously, describing it as an important tool for nation building.
He also praised the NCCE for their dedication to Civic Education, despite the limited resources.
In her remarks, the Municipal Director of NCCE, Madam Mary Dagba, expressed her gratitude to the MCE and the Ga Central Municipal Assembly for the continuous support.
She thanked the participating schools, their patrons, the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the entire staff of the NCCE, and the moderator of the quiz, Mr Wisdom Ofori, for their collective efforts in making the programme a success.

President John Dramani Mahama today cut the sod for the construction of a 24-Hour Economy Model Market in Juapong, North Tongu District, marking the commencement of a transformative project aimed at boosting local commerce, creating sustainable jobs, and driving economic growth in the Volta Region.
The sod-cutting ceremony formed part of the President’s two-day ‘Resetting Ghana Tour’ of the Volta Region.
Addressing residents and stakeholders, President Mahama described the proposed facility as a modern economic centre designed to empower farmers, traders, entrepreneurs, and small businesses.
He noted that beyond serving as a marketplace, the project will provide critical infrastructure for storage, processing, packaging, distribution, digital commerce, and access to financial services.
The President reaffirmed Government’s commitment to accelerating development across the Volta Region through strategic investments in roads, healthcare, education, agriculture, transport, markets, and agro-industrial initiatives.
He highlighted Juapong’s strategic location and economic potential, indicating that the town is well-positioned to emerge as a key commercial and industrial destination within the region.
As part of the flagship 24-Hour Economy programme, the Juapong Model Market will be among the largest facilities under the initiative.
The project has been designated as a Category Four Market, the highest classification within the programme, reflecting its significance to the region’s economic transformation.
Broadcast journalist and aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Gomoa West, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, has pledged to embark on major infrastructure development if elected to represent the constituency in Parliament.
Speaking on Onua TV platform, Captain Smart said his priority would be to transform Gomoa West through extensive development projects.
“I will turn the constituency into a construction site,” he declared, stressing his commitment to improving infrastructure across the area.
Although much of his remarks focused on rallying supporters in local languages, he repeatedly assured residents that they would witness significant development under his leadership.
Captain Smart also urged party supporters to remain united and actively participate in the party’s internal activities ahead of the parliamentary primaries.
He expressed confidence in his bid and promised to work hard to improve the lives of people in Gomoa West if given the opportunity to serve as their parliamentary candidate.
