Kohima, February 12 (MExN): Chief Minister of Nagaland TR Zeliang today expressed grief at the demise of Ngangshikaba Aier this morning at his native village Yajang 'C' in Mokokchung district. “An ardent educationist who had dedicated his life for the intellectual transformation of a few generations of his area, Aier will be fondly remembered by thousands of his former students who are now strong pillars of the Ao as well as the Naga society,” stated Zeliang in a condolence note addressed to Parliamentary Secretary Benjongliba Aier. “He had a passion to impart education to his people, and he strongly believed that proper imparting of knowledge to his students was more important than allotting them certificates.” Zeliang further stated that Aier was one of the few teachers that earlier generation of Nagas came across whose zeal, passion and dedication to impart quality education knew no bounds. “A remarkable personality, Aler's life story and life style should be one emulated by modern-day teachers all over the State.” Meanwhile, the CM conveyed condolences to the bereaved family.
