PAP Boss Tasks Students On Commitment To National Development

The Administrator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, Dr Dennis Otuaro, has urged Nigerian students to always demonstrate patriotism and commitment towards the development and unity of the nation.

Otuaro, who offered the advice while making his remarks at the inaugural National Tech Summit themed "Empowering Nigerian Students Through Tech", which held in Abuja on Tuesday, stressed that the country's future lies in the hands of the youth.

The summit was organised by the joint leadership of the National Association of University Students (NAUS), National Association of Polytechnics Students (NAPS) and National Association of Colleges of Education Students (NACES) with sponsorship by the Nigeria Customs Service.

A press release signed by the Special Assistant on Media to the PAP Administrator, Mr Igoniko Oduma, on Wednesday, said Otuaro was bestowed with an award of 'Icon of Community Development' by the Nigerian students at the event.

He encouraged students across the country to realise that their dedication and hard work, among others, were the catalysts for the building of a secure, prosperous, peaceful and technologically-driven nation.

Otuaro, who was represented by his Special Assistant on Special Duties, Dinyain Tuebi, noted that education and technological empowerment were critical pillars for national growth and development.

He also urged the students to take leadership seriously and embody the values of integrity, service and excellence while contributing meaningfully to nation building.

He lauded the joint leadership of the NAUS, NAPS and NANCES for the summit, adding that the initiative showed their shared vision of using technology to advance their education and future careers.

The PAP boss thanked the student bodies for the award which he dedicated to President Bola Tinubu and other stakeholders "who have been working tirelessly to foster peace, stability and development in our beloved nation."

He said, "This summit embodies the spirit of resilience, creativity and determination that is synonymous with the Nigerian student. As you embark on this journey of exploration and learning, today, I encourage you to remain steadfast in your studies, patriotic in actions, and committed to the growth and unity of Nigeria.

"The future of our nation lies in your hands, and it is through your dedication and hard work that we will continue to build a prosperous, peaceful and technologically advanced Nigeria."

In his address, the president of NAUS, Marshal Obaji, explained that the summit was geared towards addressing the technological skills gap among Nigerian students and graduates, as well as providing adequate mentorship for interested young minds in emerging tech fields, innovation and networking opportunities.
