The East Sepik Students’
Association of Divine Word University was privileged to meet with Provincial
Administrator for East Sepik, Mr. Richard Kombo, on Saturday, 6th
July. Mr. Kombo was accompanied by Ms Roselyn from the Department of Personnel
Management for Public Services. During the meeting a lot of interesting things
concerning the province was said.
Mr. Kombo when speaking to the
students, he said he is currently working on recruiting new and energetic
students of ESP to return to the province and help build it. He is planning on laying
off the old people who are holding public offices and need new graduates to
fill in these offices
President of ESSA also hand
delivered him two letters on the interests of the East Sepik students for
financial assistance in paying of outstanding tuition fees, staging of the
cultural show and Commissioning Ceremony for the final year students. A copy of
each letter is addressed to the Governor of East Sepik Province, Hon. Mr.
Michael Somare.
In response to questions raised
by students concerning research, housing and communication network between the
students and the provincial government, he said, he is in the preparation phase
of building new houses to provide accommodation for the new recruits.
Furthermore, his office is ready to fund any research in the fields of
education, health, economy and agriculture. Before he finished, he is working
on an internet website for the provincial government and was pleased to hear
that the students are willing to help him build one. This would enable
effective communication between the people of ESP and the provincial government
The meeting with Mr. Kombo to discuss
such issues of paramount importance for the province was first of its kind and
students are willing to work closely with the provincial government of ESP.
