At the seminar to students on 1 September, Maj. Gen.

Indicating that after independence the Eritrean people emerged victorious foiling various external conspiracies and hostilities to derail their nation-building process, Maj. Gen. Romodan called for strengthening unity and awareness and living up to the expectations of martyrs’ trust.
Maj. Gen. Romodan also called on the students to concentrate on their education and follow the guidelines being provided by their teachers and staff members of the school.
