He was conferred with the doctor of philosophy degree in development studies.

 Muswere was among five graduands who received doctorate degrees at an event where President Emmerson Mnangagwa capped 2 996 graduands, three of them posthumously.

Vice-chancellor Mqhele Dlodlo said the university developed a new construction model to speed up the completion of stalled projects.

“The university developed a new construction model which has seen NUST taking over all construction projects,” Dlodlo said.

“In a space of two years, the university is almost finished constructing the State of the Awards Innovation Centre which took independent constructors 15 years to reach 30% construction, before they abandoned the project.”

The ceremony was attended by Defence minister Oppah Muchinguri, Amon Murwira (Higher Education) and Judith Ncube (Bulawayo Provincial Affairs minister), among others.
