He beat nine other contestants during the grand finale held at the Alisa Hotel, on Saturday, September 18, 2021.

Indeed, it was a great display of healthy academic and knowledge rivalry, but after three rounds of a grueling contest, Alfred emerged winner by a point after garnering a total of 49 points.

Coming as first and second runners-up were Agyapong Abena Serwaa (48 points) and Jayden Dziedzorm Akpalu (40 points) of  Silicon Valley International School and De-youngsters International school respectively.

Apart from the bragging rights, Alfred walks away with a cash prize of GHS 10,000, a laptop,  full-year free internet subscription, a MiFi from the Vodafone Ghana Foundation and a gift bag from SIC Insurance PLC.

For this victory, Alfred is also to be announced as the Vodafone Ghana Foundation National Instant School Ambassador.

While Abena received GHS 5,000 for placing second, Jayden was also presented with GHS 3,000 for the third position.

All 10 finalists were given a medal and certificate of participation from Citi FM.

The nine other contestants were given tablets,  MiFi, SIM card, and one month free internet subscription each from the Vodafone Ghana Foundation as well as gift bags from SIC Insurance PLC.

Alfred, was once a participant of Citi TV‘s Best Brain quiz competition. He was part of the team that represented his school from the preliminary rounds through to the finals where they placed second.

About the competition

The challenge targets a wide range of audiences and actively engages students from all 16 regions of Ghana.

Its three levels of competition challenge participants to do more, beyond just writing.

After having received an overwhelming 2,000 entries, this year, the top 50 contestants from Level I made it to Level II and sat for a written, Aptitude Test, at the Accra Digital Centre, on Saturday, 4th September 2021.

The top 10 contestants from Level II  proceed to Level III (Grand Finale), to compete in the traditional quiz.
