The National University is receiving many resources from state budgets. Currently, a new campus is being built in the city of Malabo, specifically in Basupu, which is 3 KM from the city of Malabo. The new university campus will be the future site of the National University of Equatorial Guinea. The same project is being conducted in the mainland, in the city of Bata.
Minister Nguema Esono concluded the interview by saying, “In 2015, we will inaugurate the first African American university in this region of Central Africa, which its infrastructural phase is in its final stage. Currently, the ministry is negotiating with American universities specifically with a university in Boston. It has already sent us many offers that we have reviewed and are waiting for the government’s final approval to operate for 10 years, from 2014 to 2024, to manage the American University of Central Africa.”
