Staff and students of the Fiji National University at Derrick Campus in Samabula have raised issues with the Minister of Economy Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum in relation to salary levels of lecturers and lack of proper infrastructure.
These issues were raised today during the 2017/2018 National Budget consultation.
Some lecturers of FNU have said that their salary level is not as good as what is being given at the University of the South Pacific.
Some FNU students have today highlighted that they need air conditioned lecture rooms as it is too hot inside.
While responding to the questions, Sayed-Khaiyum said that FNU’s Vice Chancellor will have to make representations to him about these issues.
Meanwhile, Sayed-Khaiyum also highlighted to the students and the staff of the FNU about the mismanagement of funds at FNU in the past.
