The Fiji National University is reviewing all its courses to refocus on Sustainable Development Goals as well as the ocean.

This has been highlighted by Vice Chancellor Unaisi Nabobo-Baba during the OVC Leadership Seminar Series.

Nabobo-Baba says the Pacific Island countries, including Fiji, have faced numerous challenges, particularly around ocean governance.

She says the FNU is seizing opportunities in tuna management.

“Deep sea bed regulation for the prosperity of our island nations is what we are hearing today from our guest. In recent times, our Pacific islands have faced numerous challenges, particularly around ocean governance.”
