President David Granger yesterday met with Chancellor of the University of Guyana (UG), Professor Nigel Harris to discuss matters related to the repositioning of the institution such as maintenance of infrastructure, enhancing research capabilities and students’ experience, a release from the Ministry of the Presidency said.
In a brief comment after the meeting, which was held at the Ministry of the Presidency, Harris said that the President sees UG as critical to Guyana’s development.
“He was able to share with me some of the key areas that he felt needed to be addressed… in fact, the areas that he has outlined are consonant with what we believe needs to be addressed and I think it is very helpful,” Harris said.
