📻 Breaking It Down

Speaking at the construction site, Kisii University Vice Chancellor Prof. Nathan Ogechi said significant progress had been made since the project’s groundbreaking ceremony in October last year.

The project, overseen by the Ministry of Defence, will comprise more than 16 blocks, including classrooms, offices and other supporting facilities.

Prof. Ogechi said construction of a three-storey building housing classrooms and offices was ongoing, with structural works expected to be completed by December this year and final finishing by February next year.

“We are happy with the progress that has been made so far. The construction of the classrooms and offices is ongoing, and we expect the structural works to be ready by December before the final finishing is completed in February,” he said.

The university has also benefited from supporting infrastructure, including a borehole, while plans are underway to construct sanitation facilities and a perimeter gate as preparations for operations continue.

Prof. Ogechi further announced that the groundbreaking ceremony for the university library is expected to take place next week, marking another milestone in the institution’s development.

The Vice Chancellor said preparations were underway to have the institution gazetted, a process that will pave the way for prospective students to apply for admission.

He explained that Nyamira University would initially operate under Kisii University before transitioning into an independent chartered university within approximately three years.

“We are working towards having the institution gazetted so that students can begin applying for admission. And in about three years, it will transition into Nyamira University as a chartered university,” Prof. Ogechi said.
