Director General of the Somali Construction Agency Inspects SNU's Gaheyr Campus

The Director General of the Somali Construction Agency, Major General Bashir Mohamed Jama (Sareeye Guud Bashiir Maxamed Jaamac), today paid a fact-finding visit to the main Gaheyr campus of Somali National University (SNU).

The Director General examined the reconstruction and renovation work that the University has carried out at the Gaheyr campus, which is now home to 7 faculties attended by 2,500 students.

The University has now completed two buildings comprising 17 classrooms and their offices, built for the Faculty of Science's Marine Science and Geology departments, which now have 200 students.

The renovation was carried out on a self-reliant basis, with the costs met by the students, their parents and the University administration. Major General Bashir highly commended SNU for renovating its campuses through its own efforts.

The Construction Agency and SNU recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on how the two institutions will cooperate on the reconstruction of the country and on expanding knowledge of engineering and technology, which the country greatly needs.

It was also agreed that the SNU Faculty of Engineering and the Agency will work closely together to rebuild skills and develop professionals in construction and engineering.

NB: To date, the SOMALI CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT AGENCY is not carrying out any construction or renovation work at the campuses of Somali National University
