The Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) celebrated a big milestone on Friday, 22 May, as over 190 students graduated from its Eenhana Satellite Campus.
The graduates received qualifications across 34 academic programmes, demonstrating the university’s growing reach in Namibia’s northern regions.
The University, in a statement, said the ceremony formed part of their broader May 2026 graduation season, which has recorded a combined total of 3 156 graduates across Windhoek and Eenhana.
Speaking on behalf of the former President and Patron of the Eenhana Campus, Dr. Hifikepunye Pohamba, Personal Assistant, Frans !Gaoseb said the continued success of the campus depends on a collective commitment to education and development. “It is important to invest in your education, because it expands your opportunities and ensures that institutions such as NUST remain accessible, innovative, and responsive to the needs of the nation.”
Acting Vice-Chancellor at NUST, Professor Andrew Niikonda said this year has also seen the continued expansion of NUST’s academic offering. “We introduced new programmes, such as qualifications in Actuarial Science, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Information Security and Digital Forensics. All these reflects a clear response to the demands of a changing Namibia and a changing world.”
The University added that the rapid growth of the Eenhana Campus has intensified the need for expanded infrastructure to support increasing student enrollment and academic activities. “To address these capacity matters sustainably, the development of prefabricated classrooms and support facilities has been initiated.”
They said the project will include classroom blocks, ablution facilities, and office space. “Construction preparations are already at an advanced stage, with erection expected to commence imminently and completion targeted for the second semester of 2026. This intervention represents a critical step in strengthening teaching and learning conditions while the permanent campus is being developed.”
