A total of 37 students attending the University of Goroka who were displaced due to accommodation problems will be relieved with the funding support from Nawaeb District Development Authority (NNDA). Nawaeb MP Hon Theo Pelgen highlighted the importance for supporting the human resource of the district. MP Pelgen said, the district was made aware of the situation of the students when they raised awareness of their dilemma this academic year. “The students had been displaced from accommodation privileges due to the earthquake last year in Goroka which led to them living off-campus.” NDDA CEO Buds Botikie on behalf of NDDA Chairman Theo Pelgen presented the cheque payment in Lae, said the support will go a long way to develop upcoming Teachers and Intellectuals of Nawaeb District. He urged the students to become role models when they return to the community. "Investing in Human Resource is a sustainable practice for Development." Meanwhile, Vice President of Nawaeb District UoG MSA Ms Lisah David whilst thanking NDDA, said the students would be conducting awareness during holidays in the district. Secretary Toovey Solong said, UoG students will take lead to connect the rest of all other Nawaeb Students in various tertiary institutions in the country to combine and create development awareness in the district. He pledged the students can be utilized by the district to help formulate policies as well. The Funding support is the first of its kind support from Nawaeb District Development Authority to any tertiary institution in the country.
