Retired Captain Prince Kofi Amoabeng, founder of the defunct UT Bank, has shared a memorable achievement from his time at Adisadel College, revealing that he won the National Maths Quiz for the school in 1968.

Speaking on Channel One TV on Monday, March 24, Rtd. Capt. Amoabeng reflected on how his alma mater shaped his personal and professional journey. He described Adisadel College as the best school, emphasizing its impact on his development.

“I don’t know, but maybe I will be bragging a bit,” he said. “But you know, in my time, in 1968, I won the National Maths Quiz. It was the top schools, and they brought the top students. It was one student, and you went on your own. I wasn’t even the best student at Adisadel College, interestingly enough.”

Adisadel College, popularly known as ADISCO, has a strong reputation for academic excellence and has produced many distinguished alumni.

The school won the National Science and Maths Quiz in 2016 and was ranked 10th among the top 100 high schools in Africa by Africa Almanac in 2014, based on factors such as quality of education, student engagement, alumni strength, and media visibility.
