“If after every semester, from every unit taught in the universities, the learners could come up with the help of the lecturers, with something tangible, it would take us a very short time as a country to begin to pick up and grow,” Dr. Nyandoro senior lecturer of Literature and Theatre Arts said.
Obino Nyambane, the Director of Culture in Kisii County, applauded the students and encouraged them to work hard on their talent emphasizing that art is a powerful way of passing information.
