The University of Dar es Salaam just dropped contracts worth around 8.6 billion shillings to deck out their campuses with new furniture and internet stuff. They were supposed to sign deals totaling over 10 billion, but two companies ghosted the signing event, so those papers are getting mailed out separately.
One firm is handling furniture installation for 21 buildings spread across different regions for about 4.7 billion, and a bunch of tech companies are splitting the rest to wire up all the colleges with proper connectivity. The university council chair said the whole campus should have internet everywhere within four months, and the project is sitting at 81 percent completion right now. The vice-chancellor mentioned this only covers about 60 percent of what they actually need for their smart campus plan, but it lines up with their long-term development goals.
