The Fiji National University has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining a drug-free learning environment following a recent police investigation at its Derrick Campus in Samabula.
Vice-Chancellor Uniaisi Nabobo-Baba says the university is fully cooperating with authorities as investigations continue.
Professor Nabobo-Baba stresses that the institution maintains a firm zero-tolerance stance toward drug use and possession across all its campuses throughout Fiji.
She says anyone found violating the university’s strict policies will face immediate removal from the institution.
Nabobo-Baba emphasises that there can be no compromise when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of students, staff and the wider university community.
The Vice-Chancellor states that under the university’s Drugs, Alcohol, Kava and Tobacco Policy, all FNU campuses are clearly designated as drug-free zones.
She says the policy strictly prohibits the possession, use or distribution of any illegal substances within university premises.
According to Nabobo-Baba, the policy forms part of FNU’s broader commitment to fostering responsible and healthy lifestyles while ensuring a safe and secure academic environment for learning and research.
