Murang’a University of Technology has agreed to partner with the county administration to establish a campus for studies in agriculture and environment. The campus will be set up at Mariira Farmers Training Centre that has over 140 acres of land in Kigumo subcounty. Some 50 acres will be hived off for the campus set to welcome its first batch of 44 students on October 2. For the time being, the campus will use the farmers’ training centre’s facilities as it builds own infrastructure. The governor said research from the campus will enhance agricultural production while Kigumo businesses will flourish with the influx of students.
