Security top priority at UOG

​Security is top priority at the University of Goroka (UOG) until normalcy is restored.

Most of the students arrived on campus at the weekend with registration for semester two underway this week.

UOG vice-chancellor Dr Musawe Sinebare confirmed that the academic year will resume mid this month and the university is prepared for semester two.

Dr Sinebare said a mobile squad from Bulolo has been stationed on campus, which has allowed students to move in over the weekend.

The majority of students are now on campus and most of their travel expenses were paid by their provincial governments, especially those that have been affected by the events of June 14, said the VC.

“We have a permanent station for the mobile squad and we are looking after them while they provide security,” Dr Sinebare said.

He has spoken to the Police Minister to see if they can assist by way of providing some resources.

Police have been asked to also check on who’s moving in and out of campus, making sure that no one carries weapons and other harmful materials into the campus.
