New UG graduates urged to give back to Guyana

Demerara Waves – November 12, 2011

Some 1400 persons graduated from the University of Guyana on Saturday with a charge from the acting Chancellor of the Judiciary Carl Singh to find in themselves the patriotism to give back to Guyana.

Justice Singh was presenting the feature address at the university’s 45^th Convocation Ceremony held at the Turkeyen campus.

“Guyana has given to you, the time has come for you to give back. It is no secret that our teachers, nurses, engineers and scientists leave our country to offer their talents and skills to other states and I would readily tell you that I am not unaware of the principal motivating factor for this migration.

But I ask what has become of patriotism and loyalty to our country?” Singh queried to some tittering from the graduands.       more
