He reiterated that the university Council was equally elated with the grant of license to the Faculty of Law. “This has been after years of sustained hard work by staff of the Faculty of Law and Management too. We congratulate all who worked hard to see the accreditation process successful. We also thank the students of the Faculty of law, many of whom graduate today for your patience, support and prayers throughout the process. We wish to reiterate our commitment to ensure that the Faculty of Law is the best Law Faculty in the region.”
Meanwhile he said that CUEA continues to strive to embrace innovative ideas that not only enhance its academic programmes but also exemplify its corporate governance structures, Human Resources Capacity Building and infrastructure. “It is in this regard that the University launched its Business Incubation Centre an evidence that CUEA is committed to inculcating a culture of creativity and innovation,” he said adding that the University is also steadfast in promoting ideas that create a sustainable entrepreneurial outfit both for the sustainability of the University and for nurturing these skills among its students.
