He urged them to ensure that the discipline shown during the parade continues to reflect in their academics and behavior while at school and outside the school.
His words; “I see in you great leaders of tomorrow, future Commissioners of Police, future Inspector Generals, future DIG of Police, future Presidents, Governors, members of the legislator, who will contribute their quota towards changing the story of our country for the better”.
The Abia Commissioner of Police further encouraged the graduands to be ambassadors of their school, as well as the Police force by living lives worthy of emulation in any field of endeavour they find themselves so as to always stand out from the crowd.
“Do not say that toy does it, therefore I will also do it. “Even if you are the only person that is standing out to do the right thing, be proud of it“, he added.
Earlier in his remarks, the Chairman on the Occasion, Mr. Nwanekwu Shedrack, commended the teachers for the efforts they put in to ensure that the pupils in the school become great Ambassadors, while he advised parents to ensure that the knowledge acquired by the pupils would not be a waste by ensuring that they would harness the educational part of their activities, the moral part and parental care respectively.

He, therefore, called on parents and guardians to continue to abet their children and wards in studies and training that will impact their lives positively, as this will help in the need to secure a good future for them.
