President Nangolo Mbumba says the new industries of oil, gas, and green hydrogen require graduates to rise to the challenge and play their part in the advancement of Namibia's development agenda.

Dr. Mbumba, in his capacity as Chancellor, delivered the keynote address at UNAM's 104th graduation ceremony in Windhoek.

The graduation ceremony saw students from the School of Accounting, School of Law, School of Business Management, Commerce, and Economics, and the Namibia Business School obtaining qualifications.

Some self-funded students at UNAM's Rundu Campus say they don't have money to pay for registration fees and are asking for the fees to be waived. 

UNAM says waiving fees won't be possible, especially since self-funded students countrywide owe the university over N$356 million.

These are some of the self-funded students at UNAM's Rundu Campus. 

Frans Kambinda owes the university N$65,000, while Maria Nshamba owes N$48,000. 

Pauline Muremi's debt stands at more than N$55,000, while Rebecca Masozi's is N$35,000 overdue.
