The event, organized by Enobanation Ghana and its partners, took place at Fomena in the Ashanti Region on 22nd August, 2024.
In his address, the Head of the Mathematics Department at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Very Rev.

The Founder and CEO of Enobanation Ghana, Mr. Emmanuel Kofi Asamoah, provided an overview of the competition, noting that 300 students from three Senior High Schools—Asare Bediako, T.I.

The competition was structured in three stages, with only those who scored above half of the total score advancing to the next round. Ultimately, 23 students qualified for the final examination in the third stage.
The overall best student prize went to Ibrahim Mubarak Mpaya from T.I. Ahmadiyya, with Obeng Richard from Dompoase SHS and Emmanuel Afoakwah from Asare Bediako SHS securing the positions of 1st and 2nd runners-up, respectively. Additional category awards were also presented to deserving students.
