Moi University is making strides toward reopening after a period of closure, with a structured plan of activities laid out to ensure a smooth transition for returning students and staff.
In an official statement issued on November 3, Vice Chancellor (VC) Prof. Isaac S. Kosgey confirmed the upcoming activities that will take place before the university fully resumes operations.
“Further communication will follow in due course,” Prof. Kosgey assured, emphasizing that the administration is committed to a seamless reopening.
The announcement comes as a relief to the student body, who have been eagerly awaiting updates on the resumption of studies and campus life.
The State Department for Higher Education and Research, under the guidance of Principal Secretary Dr. Beatrice Muganda Inyangala, has been actively involved in the reopening process.
Dr. Inyangala announced that officials from the department will visit Moi University on November 8 to oversee and facilitate the final preparations for welcoming students back to the institution.
“Moi University Reopens! This is the schedule of activities leading to the reopening of Moi University. The State Department for Higher Education and Research will be at Moi University on Friday, November 8, 2024, to welcome the students back to the University. Comrades Resilience,” she said.
Dr. Inyangala’s statement also urged students to exercise patience and resilience during this transition phase, recognizing the challenges they have faced due to the extended closure.
Her remarks reflect a supportive stance from the government, which is working closely with the university to address any outstanding issues and create a conducive learning environment for all.
The visit on November 8 by the State Department for Higher Education and Research will likely mark a significant step toward full reopening, providing students and staff with clarity on the timelines and expectations for resumption.
According to the university’s administration, this visit will involve a review of facilities, resources, and administrative processes to ensure they meet the required standards.
This reopening process holds promise not only for Moi University’s students and faculty but also for the broader community in Eldoret, which has been impacted by the institution’s temporary closure.
As the university prepares to open its doors once again, the structured plan set forth by Prof. Kosgey and supported by Dr. Inyangala symbolizes a fresh chapter for one of Kenya’s leading educational institutions.
The university is expected to provide more details on specific reopening dates and procedures in the days following the government officials’ visit, with students and parents eagerly anticipating the return to normalcy in academic operations.
