In his address to the students, the speaker reminded the students to always keep tradition alive so that continuity in our history is embedded deeply in our psyche. He further added that without our traditional culture we will lose our history and without history our identity as people will be buried in the sands of time.
He encouraged the students to uphold our rich culture and tradition and also challenged them to develop healthy cultural practices like obedience, sincerity, discipline, hard work and being polite to everyone at all times.
The programme was chaired by Mr Hika Awomi and Miss Sulika Chishi.
