To the People of Jiwaka Province & Office of our Governor, Hon. Simon T. Kawi,
Good morning Jiwaka 🙏
On behalf of the Unitech Jiwaka Students Association, we sincerely thank you and the Jiwaka Provincial Government for your continued support of tertiary students. We are especially grateful for last year’s sponsorship and this year’s 50% increase in sponsorship per student. This shows real commitment to building the future human resources of our province.
It is with that same spirit that we respectfully raise a concern.
After carefully comparing the JPG paid list with the biodata we submitted, we found that 65 genuine Jiwaka students at Unitech have missed out on the 2026 JPG Sponsorship:
- 5 Post Graduates
- 15 1st Years
- 17 2nd Years
- 13 3rd Years
- 15 Final Years
Some of us have been blessed to receive support, while many of our fellow Jiwakans have been left out. This is not fair.
We understand there are data issues to be sorted, missing ID numbers , outdated information , and name discrepancies. We suggest a 1-month pause to fix this.
We humbly request the JPG team to review and approve the missing 65 names with an official stamped list from the Unitech Registrar, so that no Jiwaka student is left behind.
All Jiwaka students at Unitech deserve equal and fair benefits.
We believe in your leadership, Governor Kawi, and trust that you will address this so that every Jiwaka son and daughter gets the opportunity they deserve.
Thank you once again for your support.
Jiwaka Students, Unitech Lae
