ON THE SCENE: PetroCaribe scholars + Yohan Blake + PM Portia Simpson-Miller + Ranny Williams' relatives + Hon. Edward Seaga
DYNAMIC DUO: Chancellor of the University of Technology (and former PM) Edward Seaga warmly greets PM Portia Simpson-Miller at last Friday's PetroCaribe Merit and Awards Programme. During the ceremony, four students from UTech received scholarships in the areas of Pharmacy, Dental Hygiene, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. After completing their studies, the awardees will work in the public service for five years.
