Elgeyo Marakwet Governor, Wisley Rotich, and his Nandi counterpart, Deputy Governor Eulita Mitei, urged students to be innovative and job creators, rather than job seekers.
“It’s time students use the knowledge gotten in class to create employment opportunities instead of seeking for white collar jobs which are scarce,” he said
The Governor, who spoke during the graduation ceremony held at the institution, congratulated the graduands and urged them to use the knowledge impacted on them to change society.
Over 2,800 students graduated in various disciplines, with leaders reminding them that being a graduate was not the end of the journey.
“We want our students to stand out and be our ambassadors and should avoid corruption at whatever cost,” he added.
She further called on the Ministry of Education to increase funding to the institutions to enable them to run their operations smoothly.
On his part, Eulita Mitei urged students to maintain discipline once they leave university so that they can become role models for the younger generation.
This was the 14th graduation ceremony, which started at 8.00 a.m. and drew relatives and guests from all over the country.
“Today, I had the privilege of joining the University of Eldoret community for their 14th Graduation Ceremony. My heartfelt congratulations to the Class of 2025 for achieving this significant milestone. Your hard work, resilience, and determination have brought you to this moment, and I wish each one of you the very best in your future endeavours. May the knowledge and skills you have gained guide you towards fulfilling careers,” said the Nandi Deputy Governor.
Present at the event were, among other leaders and education partners, the Uasin Gishu Deputy Governor, Evans Kapkea, and Milton Njuki of the State Department for Higher Education and Research.
