Mr. Adu hinted that there will be a MISS KOFEST 23, which will be supported by the Ministry of Education and Tourism Art and Culture that will give winners the opportunity to further educate the youth at the second cycle institutions as ambassadors to promote education on topics such as peer pressure and teenage pregnancy in the region.
