Lugari Member of Parliament Nabii Nabwera has called on students to embrace discipline, determination, and courage as essential tools for success in academics and beyond.
Speaking over the weekend at the Lugari Achievers Finish Smart Forum held at Bishop Sulumeti Girls Secondary School in Lumakanda, the legislator emphasized the importance of obedience and respect for teachers. He said adhering to instructions and school rules was central to personal growth and academic excellence.
“Success is born from consistency and obedience,” Nabwera told the gathering. “By listening to your teachers and applying what you are taught, you can unlock your full potential.”
The annual forum, themed “Soaring with the Eagles, Building a Culture of Academic Excellence,” brought together 653 students from 26 schools across Lugari Constituency. The top three schools were recognized for their performance and given an opportunity to showcase their achievements.
The event drew participation from key education stakeholders, including Prof. Mentor Abuya, representatives from the Teachers Service Commission (TSC), and officials from the Kenya Primary School Heads Association (KEPSHA). The speakers encouraged candidates to remain focused as they prepare for upcoming national examinations and to view challenges as stepping stones rather than barriers.
