P80m NWDC schools tender dispute resolved

The dispute that has affected the welfare of students due to the delay erupted in 2018 between the NWDC and five construction companies that were initially awarded the tender before it was abruptly cancelled without reasons.

Following a lengthy battle at the High Court where an order was made for the tender to be re-advertised and re-awarded, the highest court has ordered that the initial companies should continue with the tender and the construction of classrooms as agreed on the tender documents.
