Mayor of Causeway Coast and Glens, Elected Members, Council colleagues and representatives from the Zomba Action Project Committee team have come together to wish Gomezgani Nyasulu all the best, as his 13-week scholarship in Council comes to an end.
Gome was previously on placement within Council in 2020 when world events cut that particular placement short, and he returned in February 2025 to complete a Commonwealth Environmental Health Fellowship Scholarship.
The Mayor, Councillor Ciarán McQuillan said: “Thank you to the Zomba Action Project Committee team and of course to Gome Nyasulu for joining our Environmental Services team as part of a scholarship for the last 13 weeks.
“I know you have been a valuable member of the team and Council was delighted that you have been able to return after the 2020 visit was cut short.”
Gome’s time has been focussed on gaining experience in how Council services are delivered within the UK, while working in the Environmental Services Directorate. As an Environmental Health professional from Zomba City Council, Gome will now be able to apply the knowledge gained to help enhance Environmental Health Services and improve public health in Zomba.
Alderman Yvonne Boyle, ZAP Committee Member, said: It’s been great having Gome, who I have meet several times here and in Zomba, working with the Environmental Health Department.
“Thanks to the Chief Executive , David Jackson and Environmental Health Director, Aidan McPeake for facilitating his placement.
“Anyone interested in volunteering, fundraising or hearing more about our unique link with the Zomba City area, please contact ZAP Secretary Paul Snelling paul.snelling@ramorehead.com
The Mayor added: “We all wish you the best of luck in your future as an Environmental Health professional and we hope that you will take back some valuable techniques and practices to help improve public health at home.”
