“We do not want the peace of a graveyard, but rather, we crave for a glamorous and lasting peace that brings about true development. The task of peaceful co-existence and progress requires that all hands must be on deck to achieve our laudable goals,” Engr. Akeem opined. 

The high and might of the society were visibly present which added to the shine and glamour of the grand finale.
