People waiting in long lines to be served at the FNU Roadshow booth at Somosomo

The Fiji National University (FNU) has achieved another significant milestone in its mission to deliver quality higher education and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) to every corner of the country, with the successful hosting of its first-ever roadshow in Somosomo, Taveuni, today.

The roadshow is part of FNU’s ongoing commitment to bringing its services directly to the doorsteps of Fijians living in rural, remote and maritime communities across the nation.
