Construction Of Manicaland University Underway

The construction of Manicaland University is underway with the learning block and a “state-of-the-art” clinic almost complete.

The developments at the university were revealed following a Wednesday tour of the Manicaland State University of Applied Sciences by the Minister of State in the President’s Office in charge of Implementation and Monitoring government programmes, Dr Jorum Gumbo.

Speaking after the tour, Gumbo commended the University for the construction of a health facility and a learning block under the hundred-day target based programme. He said:

As we fight the pandemic, we must expedite the implementation of priority projects in all the key pillars of our economy. It is for this good reason I welcome the developments taking place at this institution with regards to the construction of a clinic. I need not emphasize the fact that investment in infrastructures such as lecture rooms and clinics is essential to cater for increased enrolments.

The acting Pro-Vice-Chancellor, Professor Albert Chahwanda said 1.5 million Zimbabwe dollars has been spent on the construction of a clinic with 6.1 million dollars being used to construct a learning block.

He added that upon completion of the hospital and clinic, the university plans to provide accommodation on campus.
