The Fiji National University (FNU) has confirmed that police conducted an investigation at its Derrick Campus in Samabula.
FNU Vice-Chancellor Professor Unaisi Nabobo-Baba said the university is fully cooperating with authorities following the incident.
No details were provided on the incident.
“The University cooperates fully with police authorities during their investigation. We stand resolute in our zero-tolerance approach to drug use and possession within all our campuses Fiji-wide,” she said.
Professor Nabobo-Baba stressed that the university would take firm action if any student or staff member is found breaching its policies.
“If anyone is found violating our strict policies, they will face immediate removal from the University. There is no room for compromise when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of our community,” she said.
She reiterated that under the university’s Drugs, Alcohol, Kava and Tobacco Policy, all FNU campuses are designated as drug-free zones.
“The policy clearly prohibits the possession, use, or distribution of any illegal substances on University premises. We are committed to fostering responsible, healthy lifestyles and a secure academic environment,” Professor Nabobo-Baba said.
The Vice-Chancellor said the policy applies equally to both students and staff, highlighting the university’s focus on maintaining safety and integrity across its campuses.
FNU says it will continue to work closely with law enforcement agencies as the investigation continues.
