Prof. Peter Mbithi, the Vice-Chancellor, presents the Gandhi Smarak Nidhi Trustee Fund to the best

The University of Nairobi presented awards to 489 outstanding students during the prize
presentation ceremony for 2011/2012 and 2012/2013 academic years.
The ceremony which was held on May 20, 2016, saw students receive awards donated by
82 donors.
UONAA is proud to have donated prizes worth 260,000 Kenyan Shillings to a total of 26
students who excelled in their given diciplines.
Among the awards is the Gandhi Smarak Nidhi Trustee Fund which is in form of a gold medal to the

curricular activities. The awards went to Hussein Maimuna (2011/2012) and Victor Juma (2012/2013).
While congratulating the prize recipients, the Vice-Chancellor [1], Prof. Peter Mbithi, revealed that
the notable trend, as in the past few years, is the impressive performance by the female students in
fields traditionally presumed to be the male domain.
“This shows that our ladies have come of age and have taken the competition to their male
counterparts. It further debunks the myth that only male students can perform well in certain
courses,” he said.
Prof. Mbithi thanked the sponsors for their support and called on more sponsors to volunteer and
support activities that will improve the quality of the academic programmes.
“I am happy to recognize and welcome the new donors who have joined in the 2013/2014 and
2014/2015 Academic Years. They include Dennis Omondi Adari University Awards, The Agnes Zani
Award, Prof. Godwin O. Patrick Obasi Award, Prof. Laban A. Ogallo Award, Dr. Joseph R. Mukabana,
MBS Award and the Prudential Award.
Senator Agnes Zani also congratulated the prize recipients and challenged them to take their
expertise to all sectors of the economy. She said that the prize presentation ceremony should
encourage the current students to work harder in their studies.
Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Academic Affairs [2], Prof. Henry Mutoro called on students to be
outstanding Kenyans in the job market and make their alma mater proud. He thanked the parents
and guardians for the sacrifices they made to ensure that the young men and women completed
their studies.
The prize presentation ceremony provides an opportunity for various University benefactors who
have registered in the roll of donors with the University to meet the best performing students who
met the requirements for each prize category. Whereas most prizes are in the form of cash, other
companies and individuals also give trophies, certificates or scholarships. The University also uses
the opportunity to touch base with professionals and other industry players, majority drawn from its
own alumni.
