NUST relocates agri satellite campus to Otavi

The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) council has approved the relocation of the university’s agricultural satellite campus from Rietfontein to Otavi. According to a 27 February announcement, a council meeting held on 6 February endorsed Otavi as the new site. Approximately 84 schools in the Otjozondjupa region serve more than 48 000 learners, many of whom have limited access to university-level education. The Otavi Town Council has allocated land for the establishment of the new satellite campus. “The relocation of students and staff will be implemented through a phased approach, beginning with the provision of temporary facilities to support immediate academic activities, alongside the planned development of a permanent, purpose-built campus,” Nashilongo Gervasius, acting director for corporate engagement, confirmed.
