Aust high commissioner says Enga is vital partner

Australian high commissioner John Feakes declared that Enga is an important partner to the Australian government and promised to continue to support the developmental agendas of Enga.
Feakes took this opportunity to advise all international developmental partners, investors, government agencies, business partners and the country that Enga is not like what it is as badly reported in international and local media alike.
“I came to Enga to show my confidence in this province. It is safe to come here that is why I had to come here,” Feakes said during his two-day visit to Enga which started on Wednesday.
He acknowledged the continuous support of the Australian Government in securing a K10 million funding that was used to build a four-storey modern complex that is now being used for lecture and tutorial periods at the Faculty of Education at Irelya Campus.
“I thank my predecessor Bruce Davis for his strategic involvement in securing K10 million from the Australian government,” he said.
He said that his two days visit to Enga was one of his first official visits he has taken after being appointed as the Australian high commissioner and he assured the Innovative University of Enga that he will continue to nurture and promote the developmental aspirations of this pioneer university.
Feakes assured Enga governor Sir Peter Ipatas and the Enga government of Australia’s continuous support.
