DIMAPUR — The Akami clan held its second general meeting on December 29 at Khumboda (Edau Valley), Losami village in Phek district.

In his address, Kiezo Akami advised the clan members not to misbehave or indulge in any illegal activities which may bring shame to the clan, rather encourage doing good things and bring laurels to the community. While encouraging the aspirants to work hard, he added that it's been 34 years since its first meeting and it'll be a shame not to have any IAS or other prestigious officers by its 50th year celebration.
Neiko Akami advised leaders in any field – be it pastor, deacon, community leader, or government servants – to perform their duties with utmost honesty and sincerity when given responsibilities, which will bless generation after generation.
He encouraged aspirants of various competitive exams to dedicate and work hard as the competition is too high and there's no backdoor appointment.
