Hon. Afrifa stressed that dreams do not simply come true on their own. He advised the students to take ownership of their dreams and work towards achieving them.
To further encourage the students, Hon. Afrifa urged them to embrace leadership roles. He expressed his desire to see a student serve as the Master of Ceremonies for the ASECTECH 2025 SRC celebration.
Hon. Afrifa emphasized the transformative power of education. He stated that education is the key to levelling up classes in society and empowering individuals to achieve their full potential.
