Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Prof. Ahmed Madawi Musa affirmed that the return of universities and colleges to their main campuses, starting August 1, is a national and academic necessity that cannot be delayed, stressing the vital role of education institutions in Sudan’s recovery and reconstruction efforts.
