“The university is nurturing a generation of visionary and servant leaders, as well as innovators, who will help build a stronger, more inclusive, and prosperous Kenya,” the president said.
He emphasised that institutions of higher learning play a pivotal role in shaping the country’s future by developing human capital capable of driving economic growth and social cohesion.
According to the president, universities that combine character formation with professional excellence are critical in addressing contemporary challenges such as youth unemployment, ethical leadership gaps and community development.
