Peren, May 2 (MExN): The Nkialwa Students’ Union (NHB) organized a felicitation programme at Rehangki Conference Hall, Jalukie Town, to honour successful candidates of the HSLC and HSSLC examinations, along with five candidates who were recently recruited as constables through the police recruitment examination.

Highlighting the union’s initiatives, he mentioned the Cherry Plantation Project, Students’ Union Prayer Day, NHB Academic Award, and the Cleanest Colony Award.
