He stated that their success had made them worthy ambassadors of the Bwatiye Nation and inspiring role models for younger generations.
The traditional ruler urged Bwatiye youths at home and in the diaspora to emulate the scholars by embracing hard work, integrity, discipline, courage, and the enduring values of Bwaraune, the Bwatiye philosophy of humanity, dignity, mutual respect, and communal responsibility.
