I believe that university should provide not just an education but an experience that nurtures a person’s intellectual growth.

Your visionary leadership, dedication to education, and commitment to sustainable practices have set a standard that inspires us all. I am delighted to inherit the role from someone who has dedicated himself to the advancement of knowledge, empowerment of individuals, and betterment of society through initiatives such as the Wings to Fly Programme.

As I take over this mantle, I commit to equally dedicate myself to taking this great institution to the next level and building on the foundation that you have built. There are always errors every time you take over a role. You always have to think about what error are you managing, and what is the responsibility and mission to go after,” said Ndegwa.
