President Uhuru Kenyatta has congratulated Zetech University Founder and Chairman to the Board of Trustees Eng. Ken Mbiuki for his tireless commitment, resilience and fearless

innovation in turning challenges into opportunity.

Speaking while presiding over the official opening of the university complex in Ruiru, the president noted that investment in education is an investment in the Social, Political and Economic progress of our Country. “We congratulate Ken Mbiuki for nursing his dream of an ICT school from college, and building it to what is now Zetech”, said the president.

“I am delighted that Zetech University has invested heavily in the acquisition of high quality infrastructure, equipment and resources; which are essential ingredients for the provision of high quality ter-tiary education”, said the president.

The president emphasized that education stands as one of his gov-ernment’s key priorities and that’s why the government continues to

offer assistance to all players in the education sector so as to improve the overall state of education in Kenya.

“My Government is conscious of the fact that education is integral to breaking the vicious cycle of poverty that for too long has been the bane of our Nation. Education plays a vital role in our Nation’s development by empowering both individuals and communities by equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary for them to achieve a better tomorrow”, said the president.

The rising of Zetech University traces its roots back to 1997 when Engineer Ken Mbiuki then an engineering student at the University of Nairobi, established Zenith Technologies and started training ICT re-lated short courses from his university hostel room. The word Zenith is of Greek origin and is used to characterize the concept of being ‘At the Very Top’.

In 1999, driven by huge demand for ICT training and other tertiary education courses, Zetech College was established from the direct incorporation of the words Zenith and Technologies. The college then embarked on a 15 year strategic blueprint manual that outlined the aspiration of attaining university status in 15 years.

Mbiuki.
