The newly appointed vice chancellor of the University Juba
has offered to assign Prof. John Akec as the director of Mayardit Academy for
Space Sciences.
Prof. Robert Mayom Kuoirot made the announcement during the
handover of a report and master plan of the university.
“The transformation which we started has to continue and if
you are ready to toil again with us, I would appreciate it if you could
continue to lead Mayardit Academy for Space Sciences project as the director,”
Prof. Mayom said.
For his part, Akec expressed his willingness to carry on
with the work.
“I would like to assure you and your team of my unwavering
support wherever I will be and especially on the campus I'm ready to fully
participate in the establishment of some of our new institutions that are still
being established,” Prof. Akec said.
The space project is part of Akec’s plot to standardize the public
higher learning institution.
The project is intended to include facilities like business

He took to his official Facebook page that he will do his
best to get the project off the ground.
“I will support the push for standardization by using my
connections, help in resource mobilization, proposal writing, assist in
enhancement of innovation across our university,” Akec added.
