He said, "We want to appreciate all of you who at one point or the other, presented yourself to pass knowledge. From one generation to the other. Some of you taught in extras moral classes you are also teachers, just like me I taught in extra moral classes. I commend all my colleagues whom were teachers at some point. We commend you for the job you’re doing. When I was growing up I was told that your reward is in heaven.
