The Liberian Students Association in Northern Cyprus on March 12, 2022 inducted its first leadership to stir the affairs of Liberian students studying in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
Speaking at the well attended event, the inducted President of the students association in Northern Cyprus, Brutus Jentzen Hunder, appreciated his fellow students for reposing their confidence in his team to serve the student community.
Hunder assured the student community in Northern Cyprus that the privilege they have given him and his team to serve will not be squandered.
He said his leadership will work hard as possible to not let down the Liberian Students Association in Northern Cyprus (LSANC). Hunder said his leadership remains committed to pursuing the collective interest of the students in Northern Cyprus.
The inducted president of the group said he wants students to continue to cooperate and support his leadership.
He told the students that studying in a foreign land that is far from home no doubt has its own daunting challenges, and can be difficult for students who do not understand the environment and laws of the countries they find themselves in.
According to him, regardless of all of the challenges students are faced with, unity is the tool in the forward march of everyone.
Hunder used the inaugural program to announce to the public that his leadership will embark on a financial aid initiative.
According to him, the financial aid program was designed to provide a helping hand to Liberian students who go through financial constraints in their pursuit of higher education.
He said his leadership will be knocking on the doors of financially well-off Liberians at home and abroad to assist Liberian students in Cyprus.
The Liberian Students Association President in Northern Cyprus (LSANC) noted that his leadership believes that the education they seek is not only for themselves, but to return home and contribute their quota to the forward march of their home country.
He said human capital formation plays a significant role in a country’s economic development.
According to him, good education leads not only to high individual income but is also a necessary precondition for the long-term economic growth of a country.
He spoke on wide range of many issues confronting the livelihood of Liberians studying in Northern Cyprus, but ended by calling on the student community to support their leadership in addressing their welfare.
