At a time when education is grappling with myriad of challenges and many youths are shying away from it, lies a hard working and experience principal. Mr Hussaini wuddivara has become force to reckon with and has been in a teaching profession spanning over two decades. He has acquired adequate teaching experiences and impacted the knowledge to many students who came under his tutelage. Our path crossed when he was posted to government secondary School, Pambegua. As an old student who completed the school in 1999, the principal, Mr wuddivara, included me under the state government School Based Monitoring Committee (SBMS), after my name has been recommended by some members of our community. Though, even before we meet, I was told about his passion for the development of my former school through dedication to duties. He is a no nonsense administrator who instilled discipline to students. Wuddivara ensures staff give their best in term of punctuality and performances. He rewards hardworking and punish laziness.

During our first SBMC meeting, Wuddivara outlined his marshal plans for the school and sought for out inputs. He hardly take unilaterally take decision without accommodating the ideas of others. He is an administrator who always engage his staff and seek for their advise on how he can run the school successfully. Last year, during Pambegua Old Student Association (POSA), annual general meeting, Wuddivara intellectually and brilliantly presented the problems affecting the school vis-a-vis insecurity, inadequate manpower as many classes lack subjects teachers such as: government and economy. Wuddivara drawn the attention of the members to intervene and do the needful for the progress of the school. It was during the meeting that old students who graced the occasion realized that, he personally used his resources to carry out numerous maintenance for the development of the school.
