The purpose of the visit was to gauge the level of progress of the construction ahead of the inauguration of the LOT 1 component, which comprises of the Schools of Education, Business and Public Administration, Arts and Sciences, and Information and Technology.
Work is smoothly ongoing, but the contractor has complained of a delay in payment, which the Finance Minister promised to deal with as soon as possible to avoid any excuses against the target deadline for inauguration.
