Residents of Nyamira County have been asked to construct good houses near Kiabonyoru and its surroundings to accommodate the students of the forthcoming Nyamira University.
Kisii University Vice Chancellor Prof Nathan Ogechi said that his University was given a full mandate to oversee the growth of the upcoming Nyamira University as its constituent campus for the three years it will take to reach completion.
“We have started building classrooms for teaching, but there are no hostels invested in house construction and planting of more vegetables to accommodate the students who will come from far and will be buying food to boost their economic living.”He said.
The VC who revisited the site at Kiabonyoru Secondary school, where the University is, said he was impressed with the ongoing work on the ground being supervised by the military.
