President Andrew Phiri writes🎓👇🏽

Congratulations to my beautiful daughter, Precious, for earning her BSN degree!
Your hard work, dedication, endless sacrifices, and fierce determination have officially brought you to this incredible milestone. I have watched you push through late nights and tough exams, and today, all that perseverance has paid off.
Today, you aren't just celebrating a degree-you are stepping into a lifelong journey of caring for others, touching lives, and truly making a difference in the world. Nursing is so much more than a career; it is a calling that requires deep compassion, strength, patience, and a heart full of love. You possess every single one of those qualities.
I pray God continues to guide your every step, bless your hands as you heal others, grant you wisdom, and open doors to endless opportunities.
I am so incredibly proud of the amazing, selfless woman you have become. Keep shining, keep believing in yourself, and keep making a difference, Nurse Precious!Love you so much, Dad❤️🎓🙏🏾

OZA celebrates with you and wishes Precious the very best in all her future endeavors!🎓

President Aka and the executive branch!

We celebrate my wife, Janice Kakungu, as she graduates with a degree in Behavioral Health!
Her journey has been defined by incredible determination, sacrifice, and countless late nights of studying. Even through the toughest challenges, she kept pressing forward. We give God all the glory for the strength and grace that carried her through to this milestone.
The children and I, along with our family and friends, are incredibly proud of her.
We cannot wait to see her use her knowledge and compassionate heart to make a profound difference in people's lives. Congratulations, Janice❤️

OZA wishes Mrs. Kakungu all the best in her future endeavors!
