CONTRACTORS at the Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa Law School, a branch of the Midlands State University (MSU) in Kwekwe, have introduced night shifts as they target to beat the August deadline to finish the first phase of the project.
It is all hands on deck as contractors at the law school target to ensure the main structure at the facility is completed before this year’s graduation ceremony scheduled for September at the site.
Authorities are grateful to the government for availing the necessary funding towards the infrastructure, which is part of the Second Republic’s priority projects.
“Every material is now on site, we are only left with fitting the windows and roofing, which we hope will be done in the next two weeks. We angle to fix the road infrastructure as well as do the necessary plumbing for the facility to be usable,” the institution’s acting vice chancellor, Professor Grace Mugumbate, said.
The government is equally impressed by the progress at the facility, which feeds into the National Development Strategy One.
“Ladies and Gentlemen, the high standards being achieved here at ED Mnangagwa Law school symbolises His Excellency, the President’s unquestionable leadership skills. In this regard, allow me to commend all patriotic stakeholders who supported the Mnangagwa law school project with essential building materials such as cement and bricks among other supplies.
“I call upon the district and state occasions committees to thoroughly prepare for the graduation ceremony and project commissioning in liaison with the Midlands State University,” Midlands Minister of State for Provincial Affairs and Devolution, Honourable Owen Ncube said.
The Emmerson Dambudzo Mnangagwa Law School will be the biggest law school in the country upon completion and will have a moot court and an e-library, among other modern facilities.
