Speaking on the national theme: “Our Democracy, Our Pride” he noted that District Assembly had made significant gains in education.
“I am pleased to inform you that the Nanton Senior High school that was established last year is in full operation and the second batch of students have just commenced their academic work.”
“We have also worked hard to ensuring that the school is connected to the national grid, which will enhance effective teaching and learning”.
Some educational institutions, including the Nanton E/A Primary School, Zieng Primary school, Nasara Academy Nanton, Nanton Girls Model D/A JSH, and the Fazhine Methodist JHS participated in the parade.
