Okomfo Anokye SHS ends two-year NSMQ exile with dramatic final-riddle victory

Okomfo Anokye Senior High School has secured a return to the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) championship after a dramatic victory in the Ashanti Regional Qualifiers, ending a two-year absence from Ghana's biggest academic competition.

The Kumasi-based school booked its second appearance at the national championship after edging Namong Senior High School in a closely fought contest that was decided in the final riddle.

With qualification secured, the team says its focus now shifts to preparations for the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz, where it hopes to build on its remarkable return and challenge some of the country's established quiz powerhouses.
