Tanzania’s Mwalimu Nyerere University of Agriculture and Technology in Butiama District, Mara Region has been receiving millions of shillings in government funds for over a decade yet it has not enrolled any student since it was established.

Though it requires a budget of more than Tsh1 billion ($428,000) per year, it barely receives a fraction of that amount, and it has never trained a single student.
