The Minister of Higher Education, Technology and Innovation, Dr. Itah Kandjii-Murangi, has inaugurated the interim council members of the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST).

The term of the previous council members ended last month.

The interim council consists of eight members, chaired by Dr. Leake Hangala and deputised by Nora Ndopu.

Others are Dr. Uazuva Kaumbi, Emilia Nghikembua, Sam Nujoma, Dr. Stanley Shanapinda, Dr. Detlof Oertzen, Rachel Kalipi, Kadiva Hamutumwa, Dr. Alfred van Kent, and Flora Gaes.

Telecom Namibia, as a key stakeholder, intends to meet the National Development Plans and Sustainable Development Goals through its just launched integrated Strategic Business Plan.

This was revealed by TN CEO, Dr. Stanley Shanapinda, at an engagement with the media.

Telecom Namibia has been nominated to host this year's 43rd Southern Africa Telecommunications Association (SATA) annual conference from April 26–28 in Swakopmund.

The conference is hosted on a rotational basis.

Among others, the conference will deliberate on the G5's implementation, artificial intelligence, telecommunication infrastructure, possible challenges faced in the fourth industrial revolution, and how to ensure greater internet connectivity in rural areas.
