Tambul-Nebilyer students attending the University of Papua
New Guinea (UPNG) are still waiting for their local MP Hon. Benjamin Poponawa
to assist them with airline tickets to travel home.
The Tambul-Nebilyer Students Associations at UPNG, an affiliated
student body to the UPNG Students' Representative Council (UPNG SRC) and a sub-association to the Western Highlands Students Union at UPNG have waited for
almost a month now after they have requested their local MP and Minister for Labour
and Industrial Hon. Benjamin Poponawa to assist with airline tickets just like
the rest of the students being assisted by their respective MPs.
The students have been living in Port Moresby outside of
campus for a very long time now with friends and relatives and they needed repatriation
as soon as possible.
The current registered students have already submitted their names to
the Minister’s office and are now patiently waiting for the tickets to be
purchased and distributed.
A source who wish to remain anonymous
have confirmed the tickets were purchased and should be ready by tomorrow
(27/07/2016) for distribution. Students are expected to leave Port Moresby for
Mt. Hagen by this Friday or during the weekend.
