Sir Nagora Bogan is still Unitech Chancellor

Sir Nagora Bogan is still the Chancellor of the Papua New Guinea University of Technology.

The State run institute situated in Lae, Morobe Province had supported their sister universities and had boycotted classes for over a month now.    

Minister of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology Malakai Tabar confirmed this afternoon in Parliament that, “Sir Nagora Bogan is still the chancellor and (rumours) posted on Facebook by faceless people (of his removal) is not true.”

Meanwhile, the Minister urged students to return to classed because that is there responsibility.

Tabar added that the University of Papua New Guinea semester suspension will not affect the second semester.  

“UPNG Senate had suspended semester one to reschedule its programs and will be brought back. Semester two will not be affected.”

Also there is a Court order taken out by UPNG Student Representative Council putting a temporary eviction of students at the Waigani Campus by the UPNG administration.

Tabar was responding to questions by Deputy Opposition Leader and Bulolo MP Sam Basil.
