Young Denkie Luluata from Milne Bay province achieved his dream of becoming an accountant after he recently graduated with a Bachelor in Business Majoring in Accounting from the Southern Cross University, an affiliate of the Institute of Business Studies (IBS).
A sponsored student from the Samarai Murua District of the Milne Bay province, Luluata graduated with a grade point average of 3 point 8, which is a high distinction.
Luluata was committed to achieve his dream that he never missed any semester since being selected to attend studies at IBS where he has successfully completed his studies.
He thanked Samarai Murua District for sponsoring his school fees of K24, 000 per year for the last 3 years that he has attended studies.
Luluata said, “I am truly thankful to Member Isi Henry Leonard and Samarai Murua District for assisting me to pay for school fees. Without them I would have not completed my school. ”
Mr. Henry Leonard, who is also the Minister for Tourism, Art and Culture was delighted that one of his students sponsored by the district graduated with flying colors from IBS.
Young Luluata’s success stems from the continuously promotion of education through the district school fee scheme which the local Member has set up and maintained, where the district prioritizes and pays for student’s school fees each year.
“There have been several other students who have benefited from this school fee scheme from various education institutions across the country and it gives me great joy knowing that we are educating the next generation of young people from Samarai Murua district.
“The Samarai-Murua district school fee scheme will remain as long as I am in office, because it is important to better educate and equip our human resource in the district,” he said.
Minister Leonard congratulated young Luluata and encouraged him to now join the workforce and help give back to the district in the next phase of his journey.
