A technical team from Laikipia University  has presented a draft proposal towards the establishment of the Nanyuki Campus.

Deputy Governor John Mwaniki said the process to develop  the Nanyuki Campus was initiated by Governor Ndiritu Muriithi in 2018, shortly after he was elected.

“This development has been a culmination of a series of meetings that started since April 2018, by the governor through  establishing a taskforce into the realization of this college,” said Mwaniki.

In his facebook page, Mwaniki said the proposed institution will be strategically situated to ensure its growth.

Neighbouring Nyeri and Meru Counties, being a commercial hub, and a gateway to the Northern Eastern Region, it will only flourish.

“It will offer courses ranging from innovation and manufacturing, value addition, enterprise development, rangeland management, animal husbandry and feedlot, Education, among other skill-based courses,” said the deputy governor.

The proposal draft will be refined and later, we shall present it to the Ministry of Education for adoption. Laikipia University will be the mentor of the constituent college once it starts operation.

We are committed to ensuring Nanyuki town gets a college, a college that is need driven, fill in our gaps and make the town even more vibrant.

Those who gave the report were  led by Vice Chancellor of Laikipia University, Prof. Joseph K. Rotich.

The Laikipia County Assembly team was led by MCA Daniel Nyausi.
