Fourahbay College Mining Engineering Class of 2025 celebrates resilience, unity, and the memory of a fallen colleague
In a journey marked by grit, perseverance, and unshakable camaraderie, the Mining Engineering Class of 2025 stands today as a testament to what determination can achieve. From the earliest lectures to the toughest fieldwork, these students turned every challenge into an opportunity—supporting each other, pushing forward together, and proving that true strength is forged under pressure.
But this celebration carries a quiet, heartfelt note of remembrance. Among the many names called to graduate, one shines in spirit rather than presence: Abiba Angela Koroma.The class speaks her name with warmth and reverence. “We started this journey together, but God had His own plan,” they say. Her memory has remained a guiding light, reminding the class of the fragility and preciousness of life, and the importance of finishing strong in honor of those who can no longer walk beside them continue to Rest in power La Dona.
The Class of 2025 also pauses to extend deep appreciation to the man whose leadership shaped their path—Dr. Solomon Tucker, Head of Department. Through tireless work, unwavering consistency, and a fierce commitment to excellence, Dr. Tucker transformed challenges into stepping stones, guiding the department into one of the university’s most respected academic pillars. His influence has not only strengthened the department but has inspired a generation of mining engineers who now step confidently into the future.
Warm gratitude also flows to the dedicated mining lecturers whose patience, knowledge, and mentorship carved the foundations of the students’ success. From underground surveys to safety protocols, from technical drawings to real-world mining challenges, these educators stood as the backbone of the department. The class further acknowledges the invaluable contributions of the non-academic staff—the silent heroes who kept the department running smoothly, offering support in ways that often go unseen but never go unappreciated.
As the Class of 2025 stands at the threshold of a new chapter, they do so with hopeful hearts and clear eyes. The journey has shaped them; the memories have strengthened them; the lessons have prepared them. They step into the world carrying not only their degrees, but also the unity, resilience, and spirit that defined their years together.
The future calls—and they are ready to answer, empowered by the past and inspired by the legacy they leave behind.
