MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL, MAMA NGINA UNIVERSITY COLLEGE.

The Mama Ngina University College (MNUC) is a public University College and is named in honor of Kenya’s First Lady, Mama Ngina Kenyatta, the wife of the first President of the Republic of Kenya, the late Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. Referred to as ‘Mother of the Nation’,  Mama Ngina is the embodiment of resilience and commitment of Kenyan women and mothers. The national historical connectivity is significantly compounded by the fact that Kiambu County in which the University College is located is where the founding father of this nation got in contact with formal education. The population of Kiambu County is approximately 2,519,000 people and according to UNESCO standards, such a population should have several universities to support its development.

The Mama Ngina University College (MNUC) was gazetted by the Ministry of Education on 17 th September, 2021 as a Constituent College of Kenyatta University through a Kenya gazette Supplement No. 177, legal Notice No. 193. Following the aforementioned gazettement, the Government through the Ministry of Education appointed the 1 st MNUC Council on 3 rd December, 2021 under a Gazette Notice No. 13129.

In keeping with the above mandate, the Mama Ngina University College serves to install and maintain a sustainable platform for cooperation between and among the various stakeholders, in addressing common priority challenges in intellectual, scholarly, research and innovation services in the region and the world.

In keeping up with the above mandate, MNUC serves to install and maintain a sustainable platform for cooperation between and among the various stakeholders, in addressing common priority challenges in Kenya. This, therefore,
