THE Fiji National University's (FNU) Samabula Campus is officially known as Derrick Campus. A plaque unveiled by Education Minister Filipe Bole, acknowledged Ronald Albert Derrick, an

Australian who came to Fiji in 1919. "This is indeed a sweet and joyful occasion, as we gather here for the special naming for FNU Derrick Campus, a family member of the greater FNU family," Mr Bole

said at last week's naming event. "The campus is named after the great person, Mr Ronald Albert Derrick, who has given us outstanding direction and guidance during his time in Fiji."
