There was a pack of fun and excitement for the show attendees with the night witnessing some amazing performances.

KAKI, of Stars of the Future Season V fame was on hand to entertain the crowd before Stay J who for the first time performed “Yenko Nkoaa” with the song owner Edwoji much to the excitement of the crowd with entire auditorium on its feet.

The other contestants; Elsie Attieku-Nuku, Eric Kwame Akomanyi and Sefakor Agbesi gave a good account of themselves with their intellectually stimulating sessions. It was keenly contested night as the finalists pushed the contest to each other.

Eric and Naa could not hide their excitement at their triumph and expressed their gratitude to everyone who had contributed in diverse ways to make their dream of winning The Challenge season three a reality.  They further lauded the British Council, TIGO, Gh-One Entertainment TV and all other sponsors including SIC, Shell, IPMC, ProCredit, 3E Quantum, Gsocialize.com, GTV, e.TV and Homebase TV for supporting such a worthy course.
