(GOVT. PRESS SECRETARIAT); From a field of two applicants, Cabinet this week upheld the recommendation from the Selection Panel to re-appoint Tanuvasa Oloapu Petone Mauga to continue as the Commissioner of Fire and Emergency Authority for three years.
A veteran police naval commanding officer formerly with the Nafanua Patrol Boat and also a certified Naval Officer, Tanuvasa has been a public servant for 25 consecutive years including 16 years with the Police Force.
For over a decade he was deployed on the Nafanua Patrol Boat. And after five years as the Nafanua Commanding Officer, he left the force to continue his public service career as SFESAs’ Assistant Chief Executive Officer in charge of Special and Emergency Operations.
A product of the public school system starting from Malifa Infant and Primary Schools to Leififi Intermediate, Avele College and the National University of Samoa, Tanuvasa also completed specialized studies with Australia’s Maritime College and the U.S. Naval College based in Rhode Island.
