He also revealed that Lupane State University (LSU) staff members have been forced to share hostels with students as a result of the lack of housing.

He said,

We have moved the agriculture, geography and population departments, including teaching and support staff,” he said. We are, however, outsourcing food and other service, as our kitchen is not yet complete. It is about 80% complete. We have also asked our staff to share hostels with students.
