Ali’s Bold Spirit Inspires Students
Ratu Joseph Qoro Ali has always been determined to do more in life. The 24-year-old enrolled with the Fiji National University’s (FNU) College of Business, Hospitality and Tourism Studies (CBHTS) pursuing a Certificate in Customs (Level Four) at the Namaka Campus.
Ali has never let his disability affect his everyday life or his dreams of becoming a successful employee someday. He was born with a condition called spina bifida, which affects a person’s spine.
The first-year student residing in Tomuka, Lautoka will attend his classes online from the comfort of his own home and is grateful to the FNU for allowing him the option to do so.
“Traveling is a challenge, but I am thankful to FNU because I get to attend classes, but with the online mode,” said the former Central College Lautoka student.
“I chose FNU because it offers inclusive programmes for all students.”
FNU’s acting pro vice-chancellor learning and teaching, Jimaima Lako, highlighted that FNU was one family and supported everyone.
“You are now part of a community that supports and drives you towards your success,” she said. “FNU is committed to ensuring that you reach your full potential
