In an interview, Mzuzu University Public Relations Officer, Cliff Kawanga, wondered why the council has closed the institution without consulting its management.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe institution is surprised that the council has handled the issue this way as management expected council to engage the university first before taking the action,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the matter, Mzuzu City Council spokesperson MacDonald Gondwe said the council issued a notice some months ago. \u201cThis is coming after the council made public announcements warning all that have city rates arrears to clear them by end of September,\u201d said Gondwe. Mzuzu University registrar, Yonamu Ngwira, told the local media this morning that the university was acting on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
