Students from the faculty of engineering science and technology met with the executive committee of MNUSU and the deputy vice chancellor of MNU to voice out their concerns about the problems faced at FEST.

The students had shared their concerns with the President of MNUSU mister Arushad Ashraf and deputy vice chancellor of MNU Madam Aishath Shaaheen.
