USP campus

The matter was raised again following the deportation of USP Vice Chancellor Professor Pal Ahluwalia and his partner Sandra Price from Fiji last week.

“We are 100% willing to make that happen. Samoa is revered in the region as a leading player when it comes to national issues benefiting not just our country but the Pacific Forum family as a whole,” said Prime Minister Tuilaepa Dr. Sailele Malielegaoi in an interview with TV3.

As for the USP internal issues, the Prime Minister said that it came as no major surprise to him.

The Minister of Education and Human Resource Development, John Moffat Fugui announced the plan during the USPSI open day last Friday.

Mr Fugui said once the ground-breaking is done the construction will commence in September this year.

The Minister said his ministry will do all it can to support the development because it will create a better learning environment for all Solomon Islanders as well the students from other Pacific countries.

USPSI Campus Director, Dr Patricia Rodie said the development of the fourth campus is their top priority.
