“I was once like you, but today I am a leader in the anti-corruption fight. So, I urge you to choose the path of honesty and integrity in all you do, even in your educational pursuit. I also wish to urge you not to be discouraged by the numerous challenges that we are faced with today. You all must face your studies and play your role to the best of your abilities as patriotic citizens of this great nation,” he said.
