Moahi said that the university welcomes the BOSETU partnership as critical to building a sound and healthy employee welfare culture and professionalism and towards building a motivated labour resource. Moahi pointed out that as a collegium, the university’s functions are anchored around partnerships and that the BOSETU partnership is viewed in the same light.
