HIS Highness the Aga Khan has reiterated his intention to establish a network of higher learning institutions in East Africa including the proposed modern university campus in Arusha.
Speaking here during His Highness’ visit to the East African Community Secretariat, Aga Khan revealed that the US$ 450-million (8 trillion/-) complex will be developed over the next 15 years.
In developing the multiple campuses and new programmes in Arusha and Nairobi, Aga Khan University will invest over US$700 million in the region over the next fifteen years, providing direct employment to approximately 4,000 people on an ongoing basis.
