The students started boycotting classes in May last year, calling for Prime Minister Peter O’Neill to respect the integrity of the PM’s office and step aside until all allegations against him are cleared.
During that time, the slogan #UPNG4PNG was borne.
Former UPNG Student Representative Council member, Hercules Jim, told Loop PNG: “We came up with the slogan before the protest...basically to unite UPNG to stand for PNG.
“This slogan comes with the sacrifice of blood and education of UPNG students to fight for the cause they believe in.”
