  "account": "In a groundbreaking moment for the Oti region, Bueman Senior High School has etched its name in the annals of the 2026 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) by clinching the Riddle Bonanza title. This historic win marks Bueman SHS as the first school hailing from the region to achieve such a feat. The school demonstrated remarkable prowess in the contest, amassing 47 points, thereby surpassing Kpassa Senior High Technical School, which secured the second position with a tally of 21 points. Boakye Community Senior High School, however, managed to hold onto the third place with 14 points after being given a second chance to compete, following the absence of another school in its initial contest group. The crowning achievement for Bueman SHS was clinched during the final Riddle Bonanza round where the team successfully solved three riddles, thereby securing their historic win. This monumental victory not only sets a significant milestone for the school but also keeps its aspirations alive for a potential berth at the prestigious 2026 NSMQ National Championship. The Oti Regional Qualifiers, as the name suggests, serve as a pivotal platform to identify the schools that will subsequently represent the region at the national level in the upcoming National Science and Maths Quiz.",
