"We are committed to upholding what we have achieved so far," the President declared. He reflected on a time when Africans were accustomed to poverty and dependence, believing that they would be sustained by external aid and divine intervention. "In our minds, there was God, there were others, and then there should be us," he remarked, underscoring the mindset that should prevail.

He highlighted the transformative journey Rwanda embarked on 30 years ago, emphasizing the importance of self-reliance and proactive engagement. "What is important is playing our part," he stressed, adding that this did not mean rejecting external harmony or assistance. Instead, it is about building on what they have , starting from within.

The President concluded his speech by appreciating the efforts of the people of Ngororero, expressing his love for them, and reiterating the importance of working for themselves and the country. His message was clear: self-reliance and unity are the cornerstones of continued progress and prosperity.
