Speaking at the opening ceremony at Gen. Kaahiye National Police Academy in Mogadishu, PM Barre urged the teachers to rise to the occasion by exhibiting a great deal of integrity, discipline and astute communication skills in and outside their classes.
He further reminded the teachers that Somalia’s future rests on them as they educate the leaders of tomorrow, at a time when the country needs new generation of skilled workforce more than ever.
