Kisii University has pledged to continue working with the immediate community, the police and other stakeholders like the church for the improvement and general welfare of the institution.
The University’s Vice Chancellor, Prof Nathan Igechi, said that the main objective of any institution of learning is to unite people through enlightening them with quality education and knowledge for complete coexistence among human beings and their environment, adding that Kisii University is in the centre of this mission.
While speaking at the University on Wednesday, April 2, when he hosted the Kenya Police Service County and Sub-county top officials for a familiarization meeting and awareness workshop, Prof Igechi thanked the police and appreciated the good service they rendered to the institution.
“We are very appreciative of our good relationship with you and of your protection of our students, the community, and the University’s infrastructure,” he said.
He took his time to gain insight into his vision for Kisii University, which includes transforming it into a world-class university with the best programs across the globe.
Professor Ogechi underscored the importance of their security, saying that Kisii University has a total of 635 teaching staff, among them 388 teaching staff, with over 20,000 students.
