NEW NAGS EXECUTIVES PAY HOMAGE TO THE PERE OF GBARAMATU KINGDOM, HRM OBORO GBARAUN II AKETEKPE AGADAGBA

History was made again on the 15th of September 2026, In keeping with age-long tradition, the newly inaugurated 8th Executive Council of the National Association of Gbaramatu Students (NAGS) made their way to the revered palace at Oporoza, traditional headquarters of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom, to pay homage to His Royal Majesty, Oboro Gbaraun II, Aketekpe Agadagba, Pere of the ancient Gbaramatu Kingdom.

The visit, steeped in royal protocol and cultural significance, was more than a courtesy call — it was a symbolic passing of the torch, a moment where the wisdom of the throne met the energy of youth. As the young executives, led by President Apiti O. Phanuel, stepped into the palace grounds, they did so as custodians of a responsibility far greater than titles: the duty to represent Gbaramatu students with honor, while remaining anchored to the Kingdom's heritage.

Seated in quiet majesty, the Pere received his young sons and daughters with the warmth of a father and the authority of a monarch who has watched generations of leaders rise from these same lands. His presence alone was a reminder that no leadership journey in Gbaramatu begins — or is legitimized — without first bowing before the throne that has guided the Kingdom for generations.

In his address, HRM Oboro Gbaraun II charged the new executives to lead with integrity, to hold fast to the values of unity and diligence that have defined Gbaramatu sons and daughters for centuries, and to see their office not as a privilege, but as service to their people. He reminded them that technology and modern education, however powerful, must always walk hand-in-hand with cultural identity — for a people who forget their roots, no matter how advanced, are a people adrift.

The Executive Council, visibly humbled by the royal audience, pledged their unwavering commitment to the ideals of the Kingdom — promising to be worthy ambassadors both within the walls of academia and beyond, carrying the name of Gbaramatu with pride wherever they go.

As the meeting drew to a close, blessings were pronounced upon the new leaders, sealing the moment in history as yet another chapter in the unbroken chain of tradition connecting the throne of Gbaramatu to its brightest sons and daughters.

It was, in every sense, a homecoming and a coronation of purpose — a reminder that in Gbaramatu Kingdom, leadership is never taken; it is given, blessed, and carried forward in the name of those who came before.
