Prime Minister James Marape told the Morobe Provincial Assembly on Wednesday (24.05.23) this would happen as he received a petition from students handed through Morobe Governor Luther Wenge.

The team will comprise the State Solicitor, the Defence Secretary and the Foreign Affairs Secretary. A similar information seminar will be held for students of the University of PNG in Port Moresby.

Final contents of the Defence Cooperation Agreement are yet to be revealed, with Prime Minister James Marape saying there will be an increased and "direct" presence of the US in PNG in the next 15 years.

This has been taken as a direct attack on PNG's sovereignty. 

Like their counterparts at the University of Papua New Guinea, Unitech's Student Representative Senate President, Kenzie Walipi, said they are taking the matter seriously as responsible citizens, hence classes have been cancelled for today.

Following his termination on 15 February, he obtained interim restraining orders earlier against the Unitech administration implementing the Council’s decision to terminate him.

His lawyers then sought leave to review his termination. Submissions were presented in court and a decision was reserved.

The National Court on Tuesday refused to grant leave and dismissed the Judicial Review proceeding.

Unitech argued through its lawyers that Dr. Schram’s contract of employment was not reviewable by the Court.

The event will be held at the Taraka main campus.

The library management is bringing the celebrations to the campus for the first time, unlike in the past years where they go out to schools to celebrate.

The theme for this year is “Libraries for National Building”.

Several schools in the city have been invited to participate in the fair, with lots of fun activities planned by the staff, including quizzes, treasure hunts and search race.

Metropolitan Superintendent Anthony Wagambie Jr said this while denying there was a string of robberies that took place last Monday.

He said robberies on business houses were well planned, with insiders giving information for a clean getaway.

“I want to assure the public that we (Police) have coordinated and planned operations in place to cater for the public and business houses,” Wagambie Jr said.
