Safaricom CEO and the Meru University Chancellor, Peter Ndegwa, has been conferred the degree of Doctor of Business Management (Honoris Causa) of Meru University of Science and Technology during the 12th Graduation Ceremony.

The celebration is part of Peter’s unwavering dedication to advancing education, fostering innovation, and driving impactful change both within the university and the wider community.

As this is the first graduation ceremony I am presiding over as Chancellor, and with the new honor of a doctorate, this is a significant moment for me as it undoubtedly is for all of today’s graduands. I am equally impressed by the significant strides Meru University has made in Research, Innovation, and Technology. This is why, at today’s graduation, we have chosen to celebrate ‘Mainstreaming Research, Innovation, and Technology for Sustainable Development’ as our key theme.

Dr. Peter Ndegwa, CEO, Safaricom

The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Romanus Odhiambo, expressed heartfelt congratulations to the Chancellor on his well-deserved Award of Doctor of Business Management (Honoris Causa). The Vice-Chancellor noted having witnessed firsthand the significant impact of the Chancellor’s leadership at Safaricom PLC. He emphasized that the Chancellor’s support had empowered Meru University of Science and Technology (MUST) to make meaningful strides in technology, education, and community development, highlighting the recently held MUST Innovation and Exhibition Week (MUSTIEW 2024) and the official launch of the Artificial Intelligence Institute and Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) Lab as key examples of this impact.

This year is truly a special milestone for Meru University of Science and Technology as the University celebrates the graduation of over 2900 students – the largest cohort in the institution’s history. Behind these impressive numbers are individual stories of hard work, determination and dreams coming true. This growth speaks to our commitment to opening doors of opportunity for more young people, ensuring that they receive the quality education they deserve.

Established as a fully-fledged university following the award of its charter on March 1st, 2013, Meru University of Science and Technology has continually strived to foster a culture of innovation, research, and academic excellence.
