The council clarified that the university played no part in prompting his resignation rather, Mellam resigned at his own accord and the University accepts his decision.
Professor Mellam entered UPNG at the age of 17 as a student. And now, after serving the university for 29 years as an academia and an administrator at management level, Professor Mellam is drawing the curtain to his public service career.
His resignation will be effective as of 4:06pm on Friday, May 26th.
