Ghanaian actor John Dumelo, has reaffirmed his commitment to fulfilling his pledge to walk barefoot after Presbyterian Boys Secondary School, Presec Legon, emerged victorious in the 2023 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ).

Following his initial promise, Dumelo has now announced a date for this unique endeavor in response to calls from social media users. Presec Legon secured their eighth NSMQ trophy and back-to-back win in the recently concluded competition.

John Dumelo, an alumnus of Achimota, had declared on October 22 that if Presec won the NSMQ against Achimota Senior High School, he would walk barefoot from Ayawaso West Wuogon to the Presec premises.

In response to the mounting pressure, John Dumelo took to Twitter to confirm his commitment to his promise. He declared that he is a "man of his words" and will walk barefoot backwards from the University of Ghana main gate to the Presec main gate on October 31, 2023, at 4 pm.

Dumelo's tweet read, "I am a man of my words. I will be walking backwards barefoot from the UG main gate to Presec main gate tomorrow, 31st Oct at 4 pm.

“I want to congratulate Presec for winning the #NSMQGrandFinale. I am wholeheartedly proud of my Achimota school and also OWASS. I will walk the talk."
