The Ministry of Education and the Fiji National University (FNU) need to provide an explanation as to why more than 180 students stranded at the Natabua campus in Lautoka were not provided with food, says National Federation Party (NFP) leader Professor Biman Prasad.
Prof Prasad’s call comes after 180 students, who have been living at the campus over the past month, were handed food packs from the Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprises and Development (FRIEND) Fiji last weekend.
“It is highly irresponsible for both the FNU and the Ministry of Education to put the students in that kind of situation,” Prof Prasad said.

The British High Commission has provided $28,000 towards the setting up of a medical helpline for Lautoka residents.
Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprises and Development (FRIEND) Fiji launched the health telephone service for those requiring medical treatment in the Lautoka containment area.
Those requiring assistance can call 165. “This initiative will facilitate access to medical advice and medication,” said British High Commissioner George Edgar.
“We express solidarity with all Fijians and admiration for the outstanding efforts of Fiji’s frontline healthcare workers.” FRIEND Fiji director Sashi Kiran said those needing medical attention would be able to consult a physician and organise their medication.
