Scholars have been challenged to embrace adaptability, innovations and continuous learning to acquire competencies and skills relevant for the ever rapidly changing technological World.

Kenya Methodist University Chancellor Rev Isaya Deye, Vice Chancellor Prof Kobia Ataya, national assembly speaker Moses Wetangula and Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga told the more than 2500 graduates to adapt innovative problem solving and learn continuously to cope with technological advancements and global changes.

The Kenya Methodist University held its 24th graduation ceremony on Saturday.

“Embrace lifelong learning beyond graduation for societal transformation for the changing World because change is the only constant thing. Lifelong learning will make you agile and equipped to navigate the complexities of the future. Explore new ideas, question existing knowledge, competencies and seek solutions to emerging problems,” Bishop Deye said while presiding KeMU’s 24th graduation ceremony at the main campus, Meru.

In a speech read by Higher Education PS Beatrice Inyangala, Wetangula said the World is rapidly changing technologically, socially and economically.

“Advance your skills to solve emerging challenges in governance, health, education, technology and infrastructure. Be adaptive, be innovative and courageous to overcome setbacks in the outside World. Learn new ways of doing things and new methods of problem solving,” Wetangula said.

Prof Ataya pleaded with the scholars never to forget their creator for meaningful contributions to the society.


“Remember competency, honesty, kindness and belief in your creator. Carry forward the synthesis of formal learning and lifelong learning. Embrace the ever evolving and rapidly changing globalised world using all the tools of technology advancement for upgrading your knowledge and skills,” VC Ataya said.

Governor Kahiga, who was conferred with a PHD, said it is an inspiration to the younger generation not to lose focus.

“Just like you have to update your computer often, the brain must be engaged with new skills. AI is giving room for people to read and conceptualise . In the next one month I will enroll for a Bachelor’s degree in Law,” Kahiga said.
