Obviously the academics at BIUST, renowned in their own right as well-educated professionals and professors of sorts have put a good mind into envisioning the relations at BIUST and the efficacy regarding its contributions to the national development process.Surely whatever it is they had and have in mind about the purposes and tasks of the new university is ought to be in the best interests of the nation and citizens of Botswana served at a reasonable cost that would in turn prove to be an investment to yield greater profit for the society.
