Exhorting the students, the Minister said, “Behind every high achievement is a story of hard work and perseverance. Be an author of your success”. A student will face many challenges and temptations, but their determination and hard work will overcome every obstacle and achieve higher in their career, he added.

Asserting that students are easily influenced by alcohol and drug abuse, the Minister said it is a matter of serious concern. He also urged the student to be humble before God and asked for His guidance for their success in the future.
