Work underway to fully develop Simbu Teachers College

Work to develop the new campus of the Simbu Teachers College is now well and truly under way, following the launching of new staff houses and other buildings for the campus last Friday.

The land at the old Simbu Coffee Factory is state land but was almost taken over by the people living near the area until the Simbu Provincial Administration moved into this year and fenced off the area.

Simbu Provincial Administrator Joe Kunda Naur who took charge of the operation to reclaim the land after talking with people and fencing the area, urged the college to take full responsibility of the land now that it has been reclaimed.

Mr Kunda Naur said he has arranged for seven staff houses to be built with materials obtained from the Bulolo Forest Products.

Meanwhile, College Governing Council Board Chairman Jeffery Siki, thanked the provincial administration for their initiative, and said this will now give full meaning to the college which was an initiative of the Simbu Provincial Government. NBC/PNG Today
