Who wins the trophy? 3 Battle in Tertiary Business Sense Challenge final today

At the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) Hall in Accra today, three of the nation’s most prestigious tertiary institutions will battle for wits and intellectual brilliance in the final of the Graphic Business Tertiary Business Sense (TBSC).

Defending champions, the University for Education Winneba (UEW) will lock horns with the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) and the University of Ghana Business School (UGBS) in what watchers have dubbed “a mouth-watering clash”.

It is expected to be a highly competitive contest and students from all walks of life are expected to either throng the venue or watch proceedings on the various social media handles of the Graphic Communications Group Ltd as they lend their support to encourage the contestants.

The UGBS will be represented by Peter Emeka Ike, Edwin Entsiey, Jonathan NiI Nai Sowah and Prince Ascod Bordoh, while the UEW will be represented by Fiadufe Defor, Aaron Fiati, Joshua Agbowada and Felix.

For KNUST, its representatives will be Divine Kpodo, Japhet Adeleke, Samuel Bimpong and Osei Ampofo-Twum.

Keen contest

The competition would be keenly contested among the three schools as the trio topped their zonal competitions.

Now with the dice cast and no more time on hand, the three competitors will compete for the bragging rights to determine which of them has the best business brains to think faster on their feet to proffer solutions.

Quizmaster

Quizmaster Alhassan Trawule, for his part, said the three finalists were the best in the various stages of the competition.

He said all three were zonal champions and had dispatched their opponents effortlessly.

“Now they have no one else but themselves to contend with; this is going to be tough. I see the three schools equally matched and aiming for history,” he told the Daily Graphic.

Analysis

A win for either UEW or KNUST will see them equal  the UCC’s record as the schools with the most titles, which is two apiece.

A win for  the UEW will be historic as it will be the first time a school has won the title back to back and retain their title as defending champions.

For the UGBS, this is their first final and victory will make them the first school to have won the trophy in their first final.
