Adams Mochenwa, a Nyamira County-based philanthropist and professional engineer, has urged students to stay focused on their studies and avoid pitfalls like drug abuse, bad company, and teenage marriages that lead to school dropouts.
He made the appeal while speaking to students at Nimi Secondary School in West Mugirango Constituency on Friday.
During the interactive session, he encouraged students to excel in science-related subjects to increase their chances of securing university placements and pursuing in-demand careers.
