He called on school authorities, teachers, parents and guardians to encourage and support eligible students to participate, noting that their voices, ideas and creativity have an important role to play in shaping the nation’s future.
Dr. Bangura further urged Sierra Leoneans to reject hatred, build bridges across communities and invest in the next generation as a pathway to sustainable peace and national development.
