Moshi — The Ministry of Natural Resources and Tourism on one hand and the Board of Directors of the College of African Wildlife Management - Mweka (CAWM) have resolved to turn around the institution into centre of excellence in the world.
Speaking during launching of the Board, the Minister of Natural Resources and Tourism, Prof Jumanne Maghembe and the Board Chairman, Prof Faustine Bee, projected investment in improvement of the college infrastructure that would lure back many foreign students.
Prof Bee highlighted Board priorities as improvement of lecture rooms, library, hostels; human resource capital, employment of new staff in line to the needs as well as to improve their remunerations so as to retain current staff.
"We are ready to work with the ministry and the management of the college for reforms here and ensure it is revered as it used to be in the past and get back students from countries such as Botswana, Ghana, South Africa and others," said Prof Bee who is also Vice- Chancellor of Moshi Co-operative University (MoCU).
He, as well as Minister Maghembe noted that there are massive challenges ahead, as many things stalled since CAWM had no board of directors for the last five years.
President Magufuli appointed Prof Bee in March, this year, for a period of three years while the minister appointed other board members.
Outlining the way forward for CAWM, Prof Maghembe said he wants to see the college shine in the world, with its graduates been sought all over while its lecturers do thorough researches, present and publish them in international forum and journals respectively.
