She commended Miss Dora Badu Acheampong, GIJ’s women’s Commission for serving as a source of inspiration for her throughout the competition.
 The colorful ceremony which came under the theme, “Abortion and the Tertiary Student.” took place at the conference hall of Alisa Hotel in Accra. 

It attracted multitudes of spectators to the scene just to catch a glimpse.  Although the delightful event came to a close at 2 am dawn, it gives way to a massive after party bash which took patrons away on a jolly night treat inside O2 lounge at Osu till the morning comes.
