UoK Hosts Ostrava Dinner. As part of the enriching staff mobility exchange between the University of Kigali and the University of Ostrava, the final evening was marked with a warm and elegant dinner reception held at Khana Khazana Restaurant in Kigali. This special gathering was an opportunity to celebrate the strong academic and cultural bonds that had been forged during the week.
UoK was honored to host our guests from the University of Ostrava alongside senior management members. The evening began with introductions from all guests, followed by a speech by Prof. George Kimathi, the Vice Chancellor, who welcomed everyone as UoK Hosted Ostrava Dinner.
The highlight of the evening was a powerful and inspiring address by Prof. Manasseh Nshuti, Chairman of the Board of Promoters, who reflected on his academic journey in the United Kingdom and the values that continue to shape his commitment to higher education. He passionately emphasized the importance of:
- Nurturing young minds for leadership in an ever-changing world
- Promoting a culture of academic excellence and professional development
- Championing youth entrepreneurship as a pathway to economic transformation
- Empowering students to not only excel in their careers but also build their own enterprises
His message resonated deeply with both the UoK and Ostrava teams, reinforcing the shared values of academic collaboration and societal impact.
As the evening drew to a close, Prof. Nshuti and Prof. Kimathi led a special gift handover ceremony, presenting tokens of appreciation to the University of Ostrava delegation. This symbolic gesture sealed the spirit of partnership, mutual respect, and the anticipation of continued academic cooperation.
The dinner was a celebration of shared vision, cultural unity, and the exciting prospects of global collaboration!
