Esteemed colleagues,
Just sharing the good news of the gazeting of the commencement of new
Universities following delinking of UNIMA. From 4 May 2021 we have
CHANCO operating as UNIMA, Poly as MUBAS and COM and KCN as KUHES. See
attached press release and scan of the government gazette publication.
Wishing all the best to the management of the colleges all best as
they facilitate smooth transition from College to Universities...
remember to be creative and innovative and succeed. Let's not repeat
the governance mistakes of the past.
Regards,
Limbani
