Launched on May 16, 2024, the Literacy Challenge, organized by Citi FM/Channel One TV, aimed to reward the most outstanding student with GH¢10,000, a trophy, and other goodies.
This year’s contest saw over 1,000 Junior High School students submit essays on the topic “The role of the youth in shaping the future of Ghana. What changes would you like to see, and how can young people contribute to making them happen?”
After a rigorous selection process, including an aptitude test and four rounds of competition, Fredrick Lokko emerged victorious with 63 points, taking home GH¢10,000, a trophy, six months’ supply of Webie Crunchy Biscuit, and other prizes.
