Re-elected first district Congressional Representative Romeo S. Momo Sr. said, “The completed projects, a road network, a multi-purpose building, and a potable water system, are set to provide a more accessible, conducive, and student-friendly environment for NEMSUans.” 

He assured continued support to the development of the state university, vowing to bring more projects to the campus that foster quality education.

NEMSU President Nemesio G. Loayon expressed gratitude to the government for the infrastructure projects.

NEMSU-San Miguel campus chief, Dr. Florife O. Urbiztondo, also underscored the positive impact that the new facilities will give in support of academic pursuits and campus life. “These projects are not just physical structures, they are investments in the future of our students,” said Dr. Urbiztondo,
