The Catholic University of South Sudan announced plans for a new faculty in Wau campus.
Vice Chancellor Mathew Pagan told Catholic University students in Wau that the institution will introduce its Engineering Faculty with the departments of Mining and Mineralogy by 2014, Voice of Hope reported.
He said the institution aimed at offering chances to South Sudanese nationals who wish to pursue their studies in various fields.
Fr Pagan urged students across the country to be self-sufficient to ensure the availability of food and eradicate extreme poverty and hunger.
He encouraged students not to be street job seekers but to be job creators.
Fr Pagan asserted that for South Sudan to be food secure there is need to strengthen the private sector in order to accommodate three quarters of the population in the country.
He advised that the government is not in the position of employing all capable citizens in the country and the private sector can be the best option for graduates.
Mr Pagan called on the public to put emphasis on agriculture for the coming generations to enjoy good life.
The Catholic University of South Sudan is offering degree courses in Sciences in Wau and Arts in Juba.
