He noted that children play important roles in the family and encouraged them to task their parents and guardians to ensure that they lay a foundation for a better future by electing the right persons into office especially as the 2023 general election approaches.

In his words;

"Dear Students, the journey to select those who will shape your future and the future of our country has started. 2023 is another election year and we want you to be aware, to know what is at stake. I charge you to work hard and be the best person you can be but above all, pay attention to what is happening around you.

"Children play crucial roles in the lives of their parents and today, I charge you to demonstrate that influence by speaking to your parents and guardians. When you get home today, tell them that your future is at stake in 2023. Tell them not to sell their votes to the bad leaders. Tell them to come out and vote to give you a better country".
