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.

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.
