GBARAMATU KINGDOM STANDS STILL AS ANOTHER GENERATION OF VISIONARY, TECH-DRIVEN, CULTURE-CONSCIOUS LEADERS EMERGES

On July 26, 2026, the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom at Kokodiagbene stood still to witness another historic moment as a new generation of visionary, technology-driven, and culture-conscious leaders emerged to pilot the affairs of the National Association of Gbaramatu Students (NAGS).

In an age where innovation, digital transformation, and global connectivity are reshaping societies, the emergence of the 8th Executive Council of NAGS reflects the determination of Gbaramatu youths to remain relevant in a rapidly evolving world while preserving the values, traditions, and identity that define them as a people.

These young leaders represent more than student representatives. They embody a generation that understands the importance of education, leadership, technology, culture, and heritage. They are individuals with the mindset to embrace modern opportunities without losing sight of their roots, language, customs, and the rich history of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom.

For centuries, Gbaramatu Kingdom has produced courageous leaders, influential personalities, entrepreneurs, scholars, and nation-builders. Today, that proud legacy continues through a new crop of student leaders committed to advancing the interests of Gbaramatu students while promoting the cultural identity and collective aspirations of their people.

The newly emerged NAGS 8th Executive Council (2026) comprises:

President: Apiti O. Phanuel

Vice President: Edisemi Richard

Secretary: Ayapere Erete

Assistant Secretary: Christabel Tolar

Treasurer: Isabel Eguare

Public Relations Officer (PRO): Layebi Simon

Director of Welfare: Timigbegha Victoria

Director of Sports: Daniel Moses Guade

Director of Socials: Aruwei Peremor Ruth

Provost: William Ezoukumor Steven

Their emergence marks the beginning of a new chapter for NAGS—a chapter driven by innovation, academic excellence, cultural consciousness, responsible leadership, and a deep sense of identity. As ambassadors of Gbaramatu Kingdom across various institutions, they carry the responsibility of strengthening unity among students, promoting educational advancement, embracing technology, preserving cultural values, and inspiring future generations.

The future of every nation is shaped by its youth, and the future of Gbaramatu Kingdom rests in the hands of young men and women who understand both where they come from and where they are going. With a firm appreciation of their heritage and a clear vision for the future, the newly elected executives are expected to champion initiatives that will empower students and further project the image of Gbaramatu Kingdom to the world.

As history unfolds, Gbaramatu Kingdom proudly celebrates the emergence of another generation of visionary leaders—young men and women who are technologically inclined, culturally grounded, identity-conscious, and prepared to carry the torch of leadership into a brighter future.

Indeed, the Kingdom watches with pride, hope, and great expectation.
