Minister Iipumbu visited the project site to assess progress on Thursday.
She was accompanied by the head of the Namibian Correctional Service (NCS), Commissioner-General Raphael Hamunyela, and Regional Governor Vipuakuje Muharukua.
The Minister commended the NCS for the impressive pace of construction, noting that the facility is on track to be completed ahead of schedule.
