In a statement, the institution said: “All student facilities and amenities will shut down at noon on Saturday, 17 December, and all students must vacate the Waigani and Taurama Campuses.

“This situation is necessitated by the extraordinary circumstances that surrounded the university in 2016 as a result of the four-month student boycott of classes.”

As all dormitories have had an additional two months of occupancy, it is essential that they are vacated so that the necessary maintenance work can be carried out.

The National Academic Staff Association (NASA) at UPNG had called on the university management to address housing problems surrounding the allocation of houses, maintenance and the housing scheme.

NASA members met with UPNG vice chancellor Professor Albert Mellam yesterday and were told that funding has been a problem for the university for a long period of time.

NASA president Emmanuel Gorea, when addressing the media after the meeting, said the management is shifting the responsibility away from the Registrar to appoint the committee.
