Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
I stand before you today with immense pleasure and pride as we gather here at Egerton University for the 5th National Forum for Universities, TVETs, and Agricultural Stakeholders. This event serves as a remarkable platform for us to collectively address the critical issues of entrepreneurship, innovation, food and nutritional security, youth empowerment, and national development.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today marks a momentous occasion as we celebrate the successful completion of the 2023 REU-REEU Programme, a remarkable collaboration between Bowie State University in the United States and Egerton University in Kenya. It gives me immense pleasure to stand before you and extend my heartfelt gratitude to all who have made this journey possible.
