Professor Eon Nigel Harris was yesterday officially installed as the ninth Chancellor of the University of Guyana (UG) with government expressing hope that his presence there would see the establishment of a Petroleum Engineering faculty on campus.
“Now with Professor Nigel Harris as Chancellor of the University of Guyana I think that faculty is coming close to home as we now see our dream of becoming an oil and gas producing country, we are seeing the potential on the horizon, that we will in fact become an oil and gas state,” Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo, who spoke on behalf of government, told attendees at the installation ceremony for Harris yesterday.
