Over 3000 students at Machakos University are set to benefit from affordable hostel units thanks to a signed partnership between the university and the National Housing Corporation.

The MOU aims to enable the University to expand its accommodation capacity from the current 500 students to 3,000, out of over 12,000 students enrolled at the institution.

According to Vice Chancellor Prof.

Joyce Agalo, the lack of adequate hostel units had locked students from key research ICT facilities and faced mounting insecurity outside campus.
