At the Diaspora University Town (DUT) workshop held at the DUT site, Ronald Mwangombe presented the DUT Materials and Ndara B 15 MSMEs that will produce over 50 building materials to be applied in the construction of about 4,000 buildings and 60 km road network.
DUT Building Materials MSME
Ronald informed those in attendance that the DUT Materials is allocated 5 acres and 9.2 acres for set up. He said that the MSME will oversee the extraction of material from DUT 1,500 acres during construction. Once sold the money earned will pay costs of extraction the other will go to the Ndara B members.
The second role the company will play is the management of all building materials in accordance with the Building Material Management System.
The MSME, other role is to produce materials and systems for materials production. The MSME has so far produced various materials and systems of production that will be applied by the 15 Ndara B MSMEs.
