It also formed part of activities by the NCCE in the district to mark the country’s 68th Independence Day celebrations.
Mr Yakubu Seidu, Pusiga District Director of NCCE, speaking during the competition at Pusiga, encouraged members of CECs to make use of the NCCE’s Ghana Constitution Game Board to leverage the opportunity to encourage other students to join the CECs in their schools.
