ED urges Nust to expand

PRESIDENT Emmerson Mnangagwa has challenged institutions of higher learning to take advantage of Zimbabwe’s abundant mineral resources such as the recently announced oil and gas deposits in Muzarabani and include them in their training programmes.

Speaking during the 24th graduation ceremony at the National University of Science and Technology (Nust), Mnangagwa on Friday said such announcements should motivate institutions of higher learning to set themselves up for expansion.

“The recent launch of the Zimbabwe National Space Agency and discovery of oil and gas deposits must motivate institutions of higher learning to expand our country’s skill base in the associated fields,” he said.
