The president of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has extended a congratulatory message to Presbyterian Boys Senior High School.
The move was necessitated after the school won final of the 2020 edition of the National Science and Maths Quiz which was held in Accra.

The highly-contested all-boy affair saw the contestants from the finalist schools proving their mettle in the fields of science and maths.
At the end of the day, Presbyterian Boys Senior High School emerged victorious after a hard-fought battle with the other two competing schools.
The win, therefore, sees the Madina-based school lifting the coveted trophy for a record sixth time - more than any other school in the competition's history.
Following the sterling performance of Presec in the now national affair, President Akufo-Addo first congratulated them and extended an invitation to them to meet him personally.
Akufo-Addo took to social media to share a photo of the Presecans who represented their school well and captioned it:
"Congratulations to PRESEC Legon for emerging victors in the #NSMQ2020. Winning #6 makes them the undisputed kings of the competition. Thoroughly well-deserved, and I look forward to welcoming them to Jubilee House soon."
Many followers of the president's Instagram account took to the comment section to also congratulate the Presecans and also shower accolades on Akufo-Addo over the move.
