EAC Secretary-General praises Mount Meru University’s contribution towards Regional Integration
The East African Community (EAC) Secretary-General, Amb. Dr Richard Sezibera graced the 11th graduation ceremony at Mount Meru University as chief guest over the weekend.
While addressing the gathering, the Secretary-General appreciated the efforts by the institution towards achieving academic excellence, adding that it a shining example of integration at work. “I cannot overemphasise the fundamental role that education plays in uniting people”, said Amb. Sezibera.
“Today, you are all graduates of one university, and you share the common concepts of your institution - knowledge, wisdom, excellence, God fearing, skilled, proactive, visionary, hardworking and transforming servant leaders. It is these same concepts that have created a clear bond between universities and regional integration”, he said.
The EAC, through the Inter-University Council for East Africa, is playing a key role in the harmonisation of the education systems in the region. This will not only ensure that the established systems conform to the international practices, procedures and guidelines, but will also lead to international credibility and competitiveness.
A total of 783 students from Mount Meru University’s main campus in Arusha received their diploma, bachelor’s and master’s degree certificates in Theology, Education and Business.
