University City to ease congestion

The University of Goroka (UOG) will embark on building a university city to relieve congestion of building space.

UOG vice-chancellor, Professor Musawe Sinebare, says the proposed University City is a long term plan for them.

He revealed that land has already been acquired and the university and a master plan will soon be developed.

However, funding will be a hindrance but the VC said partnering with developmental partners and businesses tax credit scheme is an option available.

UOG Chancellor Joseph Sukwianomb said 365 hectares at Manifo have already been acquired to build the proposed University City. Manifo is 12km outside of Goroka Town in Eastern Highlands Province.
