Suda said it’s only through such initiatives that universities can creators of opportunities and centres of excellence that will guarantee Kenyans and the future generations a better and prosperous future.
She said this will also enable Kenya to become a middle-level industrialised country and achieve the country’s Vision 2030.
She was spoke on Friday at the University of Embu, during its 3rd graduation ceremony in which over 500 students graduated.
Prof Daniel Mugendi was installed as the university’s first Vice Chancellor, and the institution received ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 27001:2013 Quality Management Systems Certification from the Kenya Bureau of Standards.
