The University of Namibia (UNAM) Vice Chancellor, Prof. Kenneth Matengu, said N$10 million has been allocated this year for the construction of lecture halls as part of the first phase of the southern campus development cycle.

Matengu revealed this during the 2024 UNAM Southern Campus graduation ceremony on Friday, saying more funds are expected over the next two years to ensure that the first phase is completed. The construction of the first of five phases started in 2016, and it has cost the government N$93 million already.
