HARD work pays! The common adage was proved this week after Ardhi University awarded the best student Mr Lwijiso Ngulwa with a total station worth 25m/- for surveying activities.
A total station is a state-ofart
surveying equipment combination of Electromagnetic Distance Measuring
Instrument and electronic theodolite used to measure horizontal and
vertical angles as well as sloping.
In a joyful moment after he received the
equipment during the prize award ceremony at the University grounds, Mr
Ngulwa said his dream had now come true as he had always dreamt of
employing himself.
“It is like a dream come true, I was
thinking that after my studies, I become self-employed to open new jobs
to other youths, hence reducing unemployment rate in our country,” he
said in a jovial mood. Expounding further he said, he would use the
equipment in measuring land to solve land disputes existing in the
country because the disputes are the result of land that is not
surveyed.
Mr Ngulwa was selected the best student
after scoring 4.5 GPA in his three years at the university where he
studied Bachelor of Science in Geomatics. He, however, encouraged other
students to study hard so that they could help others and the society in
general.
He added Tanzanian graduates with the
best scores will compete as well in the global employment market.
Earlier, Ardhi University Vice-Chancellor, Prof Idriss Mshoro said the
awards were meant to encourage students to perform better in their
studies to have the best surveyors and architectures in the country.
The VC also urged the students to be
good representatives of the university and encourage their young
brothers and sisters to study science subjects to fill the gap existing.
“We have a shortage of science students
especially land surveyors and architecture, therefore, you should be
good ambassadors out there and encourage your young brothers and sisters
to love and take science subjects,” Prof Mshoro noted.
During the event, 104 students were
awarded with prizes to acknowledge their academic efforts. Out of them
52 were females and 52 were males
