Mokokchung, 14 October (MTNews): The 3rd Mokokchung Circle Ao Officers Tejungjem general conference 2023 was held at the Fazl Ali College Conference Hall today, with a significant focus on the challenges and opportunities facing the Ao Naga community.
President of Ao Senden, Chubawati Longchar, delivered an insightful address during the conference. He urged that each of the present officers work tirelessly for the betterment of the Ao Naga region and community.
During his speech, Longchar also pointed out a commitment made by the Nagaland Chief Minister, Neiphiu Rio, during the 66th AKM conference held at Chuchuyimpang village in 2014. The commitment was to introduce commerce stream at Fazl Ali College (FAC). However, the president noted that this promise remains unfulfilled to date. He disclosed that representatives from Ao Senden had met with the Chief Minister on this issue and informed that the CM has reiterated his commitment to establish the commerce stream at FAC at the earliest.
Recognizing FAC as the oldest college in the state, Longchar encouraged the attending officers to support and uplift the institution. He stated that enhancing FAC will inadvertently uplift the entire Ao Naga area.
Expressing gratitude for the formation of Ao Officers Telungjem in Mokokchung, the Ao Senden president expressed hope that this initiative would lead to significant positive changes for the Ao Naga community.
