Nyandarua Institute comes of age

 By The Mountain Journal Team in Nyandarua

Nyandarua Institute of Science and Technology has been elevated to a national polytechnic.

In a gazette notice signed by education Cabinet Secretary Prof George Magoha the institute now becomes the twelfth in the country.

 The institutional will be offering diplomas and certificates in various areas of training.

 Early this year, the leaders petitioned the government to upgrade  the institution to national status, after its facilities, were inspected by a team led by Education CS.

 The leaders led by Governor Francis Kimemia, Water Cabinet Secretary Ms Sicily Kariuki and Ol Jororok MP Michael Muchira petitioned  Education Ministry to upgrade the facility.

  Magoha said the institution had met the standards of a national polytechnic.

On her part, CS Kariuki said her ministry was also set to sink and equip a borehole at the learning institutions to boost its water supply and properly service the entire population.

 Speaking to The Mountain  Journal, the Principal Mr Felix Mung’atu, the new polytechnic will offer a wide range of quality market-driven courses in Engineering, Business, Information Technology, Liberal Studies and Agriculture. Nyandarua Institute of Science and Technology is a National Centre of Excellence in Building and Civil Engineering.
