Murwira in Nust storm

HIGHER and Tertiary Education minister, Amon Murwira reportedly dissolved the National University of Science and Technology (Nust) council because it questioned his involvement in construction contracts at the institution, it has emerged.

Murwira last month announced that he had dissolved the Nust council as part of his bid to refocus the institution and bring in new brains that would set the Bulawayo-based university on a new trajectory.

He accused the ousted council of stagnating Nust’s growth and spurning investors who had intended to set up accommodation facilities and other amenities at the institution.
