President William Ruto yesterday commissioned projects worth billions of shillings at Umma university in Kajiado County.
“We are empowering institutions of higher learning to shape a new generation of graduates; skilled, ethical, and innovative, ready to create jobs, advance technology, and tackle the pressing challenges of our time,” he said at the facility, adding, “To realise this vision, we have strengthened governance in our universities, restructured financing, and introduced the transformative Student-Centred Funding Model.”
The Head of State noted that the bold reforms have not only safeguarded the sustainability of our universities and restored financial stability, but they have also reduced fees and opened the doors of higher education to more learners across the nation.
At the University, he commissioned the Dr Abdulrahman Al-Sumait Complex; a landmark KSh1.4 billion, 10-storey building designed to serve over 10,000 students.
The president also broke ground for the construction of the Umma University School of Engineering Phase III; a significant step toward equipping young Kenyans with the tools to innovate, build, and lead in the industries of tomorrow.
