Citing his own book titled \u2018The Crux of the Education Matter\u2019 Namwandi said, \u201cwe are our own enemies because we resist change and keep carrying baggage which has nothing to do with ourselves, leave alone those who are surrounding us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Namwandi called on graduates to join the IUM Alumni Association.<\/p>\n<p>He also boasted about the rapid expansion of the institution all over Namibia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGiven the demand for our programmes, we have reacted swiftly by upgrading facilities, such as Ongwediva, which is currently underway, construction of a multipurpose centre in Windhoek, a new campus will be constructed next year in Swakopmund and the one for Eenhana is expected to commence next week and our own tech campus will get land we bought from the Walvis Bay town authorities,\u201d emphasised Namwandi.<\/p>\n<p>He said the institution is also in serious talks with the Okahao town council to purchase land for another IUM campus in that town.<\/p>\n<p>Namwandi tendered his gratitude to education sympathisers for their support towards the project of developing the country through the vehicles of education, in particular graduates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDear graduates, your country needs you. Namibia, needs you. Nowhere is your skills needed more than in delivery of competent management of failing systems in our country,\u201d assured Namwandi.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIUM is evidence that Namibians can create and produce excellence through the doubting and the negativity,\u201d Namwandi said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/namibia\">Namibia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Namibia.
