Hullo readers.
In The Fiji Times edition of Friday, February 19, 2021, our coverage of the situation at the University of the South Pacific continues, and today you will read about the Prime Minister’s public comment calling for the resignation of an award-winning USP academic who is also the wife of an Opposition MP.
The Prime Minister is touring affected areas, particularly schools, in the Northern Division that were affected by the recent natural disasters.
And while in the Northern Division, we bring you reports of the challenges – post-disaster – that northerners continue to experience.

THE Fijian Government acted like a “thief in the night” in the manner in which it deported University of the South Pacific vice-chancellor Professor Pal Ahluwalia and his wife Sandra Price.
This, according to a joint statement issued by the Association of the University of the South Pacific and the University of the South Pacific Staff Union on Tuesday following a meeting of the USP Council.
“Good governance has underpinned the unions, students and staff approach to all matters relating to the university and the vice-chancellor and has taken guidance from the supreme governing body of the USP – its council,” the unions’ statement said.
