DIMAPUR — Member of Nagaland Legislative Assembly Kuzholuzo (Azo) Nienu on Monday encouraged the student leaders to be leaders of principle, integrity and ideology rather than power mongers.
The MLA was addressing the 34th general session of the Phekmi Collegiate Forum (PCF) at Phek village community hall, held on the theme ‘Higher & wiser for a stronger tomorrow.’
Stating that the legacy “we leave behind is more important than our present status and position,” Nienu said, “Therefore, we must create a legacy that will be loved, remembered and cherished forever.”
To do this, one needs to take decisions in the greater interest of Nagas in general, not for selfish ends or the interest of one’s tribe alone, he added.
As Christian, one should not choose convenience over obedience, enthusiasm over reverence, or favouritism and nepotism over rights, he said.
“Our intentions should be clear on what is right and deliver justice to the people we serve.”
He continued that the status and position we hold today will end anytime, “but our legacy will live on forever even after our death.”
Touching on the session’s theme, PCF president Veshe Chizo said “This theme calls upon us as a students and educated members of society to aspire not only for academic achievement, but also for greater wisdom rooted in values, discipline, faith and social responsibility.”

He affirmed that the PCF continues to uphold its role as a responsible intellectual body, committed to social, educational and spiritual development.
Stressing that the PCF must continue to be a platform that nurtures not only academically competent students, but also spiritually grounded, socially responsible and community-oriented leaders, he added, “Let us strive to uphold unity, moral integrity and a spirit of service.”
