Today, Stephen Mali proudly crossed the graduation stage as the sole graduate of the Bachelor of Engineering (Electronics/Instrumentation & Control) with Honours (Upper Second Class) programme.

An ex-scholar of Cuvu College in Sigatoka, Stephen began his studies in 2018 with an Advanced Diploma. After cross-crediting into the Bachelor’s programme, he completed his degree in just four years — a remarkable achievement while balancing full-time work and family life.

Currently an engineer in electrical and electronics at FMF Foods Limited, Stephen often worked night shifts from 10.00 PM to 6.00 AM, only to head straight to classes at 8.00 AM. His commitment never wavered.

He extends his heartfelt thanks to his FMF mentors and supporters — Vishaal Anand, Ashit Patel, his colleagues — as well as his family and friends who stood by him throughout his journey.
