The Honourable Member representing Jere Federal Constituency, Engr. Satomi Ahmad FNSE, actively participated in the North-East Students Summit for Peace, organized by the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), North-East Zone.

The summit, which brought together hundreds of students, union leaders, and stakeholders from across the six states of the North-East, was held with the purpose of promoting unity, peaceful coexistence, and purposeful engagement among Nigerian students, especially within a region that has endured the impact of insecurity, social unrest, and educational disruption over the years.

In his keynote address, Engr. Satomi Ahmad spoke extensively on the dual importance of academic commitment and civic participation. He encouraged students to remain focused on their studies, describing education as the most powerful tool in shaping the future of any individual or society.

“Peace and unity must begin in our lecture halls and campuses,” he said. “But it cannot thrive without discipline, education, and responsible engagement. Students must rise as ambassadors of peace and drivers of meaningful change in their communities.”

He further highlighted the role of youths in nation-building, stressing that the student community holds a unique and powerful voice in advocating for sustainable development and social cohesion.

The summit featured a panel discussion, where seasoned professionals, student leaders, and government representatives shared ideas and practical steps toward building a peaceful and academically vibrant North-East. The panel covered critical topics including inter-ethnic harmony, conflict resolution, student unionism, mental health, and the role of youth in countering violent extremism.

Engr. Satomi praised the leadership of NANS North-East for their foresight and commitment to addressing issues that affect students beyond the classroom. He reaffirmed his support for youth-focused initiatives and expressed his readiness to continue engaging with student bodies across the region.

“You are not just the leaders of tomorrow, you are the voice of today,” he concluded. “Let us work together to build a more united, peaceful, and educated North-East.”

The summit ended on a high note with renewed calls for collaboration between government officials, educational institutions, and students in fostering peace and academic excellence across the region.
