The President of the 10th Student Government Association, Mr. Smith Samah thanked his teammates at TUSGA for the high level of cooperation and willingness to work for the students especially in the wake of the global health crisis.
"This project will serve as a mark for our Administration and our students will always remember us as leaders of the 10th Student Government Association at TU" President Samah said.
He told the Press Bureau that the project is an extension of the student center on the main campuses of Tubman University.
President Samah lamented that the Student Government Association firstly decided to construct a Bus Stop in Pleebo for the students residing in the City of Pleebo but the idea didn't materialize because relevant authorities couldn't find a suitable place for the construction of the bus stop.
He further disclosed that the leadership don't want to invest money in a structure that will not be used by the students.
"Therefore, I decided to redirect the funds to the construction of a palava hut at the annex, a place where our students can sit while awaiting their classes and discuss political issues that can shape our University's destiny"
he noted.
For his Part, Tubman University Student Clubs and Activities officer, Mr. Joeranzo Nyanti who represented the Associate Vice President for Student Affairs, Rev. Mathew B. Akinsulure thanked the Student Government Association for their farsightedness.
Mr. Nyanti noted that the project is very important because it will not only hold students but several activities will always be held at the new center.

The project cost which is put at $ 2, 859.81 United States Dollars kicks off right after the ground breaking ceremony on Monday and it is expected to be completed within three (3) weeks.
