Speaking to PENGlobal Community after the visit, the student body, in a statement it released stated that "The session was not only a remarkable experience but also an educational journey that equipped our members with critical insights into the workings of legislative governance.

"During the plenary, the NAGS members were taught how issues are meticulously addressed within the legislative council.

Such understanding is crucial for any budding leader and student, as it fosters a deeper appreciation for the democratic processes that influence our communities," they added.

"As future leaders, it is essential for NAGS members to learn how to engage constructively in conversations that affect their peers and society at large. The collective knowledge and experiences shared during this session will undoubtedly resonate with NAGS members as we further our commitment to informed leadership and active participation in community matters," they added.
