He shared his dream of making MMUST a sports destination in the coming years, keeping in mind the development projects undergoing in the University.

MMUST RFC Assistant Coach, Mr. John Asila commended Ms. Doris for promoting sports and appreciated the gesture, saying that the suits will come in handy for the MMUST ladies’ rugby team now more than ever as they are striving to build the team. He echoed Ms. Nyamu sentiments that sports pay, quoting among his players Mr. Timothy Mmasi who is doing well and earns a living from playing rugby.  

MMUST’s games tutor, Mr. Geoffrey Baraza, who was also present commended Ms. Nyamu for gifting the University. “We are a University that is growing very fast in the section of Sports Science. We are focused on introducing new sports because of the growing numbers of students engaging in the University’s activities. Due to wear and tear, we do not have sufficient facilities, equipment and kits for our players. This gesture will therefore greatly support our teams,” he stated.

Mr. Baraza assured Ms. Nyamu and those in attendance of the University’s commitment towards talent development and youth involvement in sports for social, economic and professional purposes.

Additionally, he commented on life after University and sports, urging students to establish a balance between academics and sports saying that in both we gain either economically or professionally. “Academics is your core business, sport is a secondary kind of a voluntary engagement that adds value to your academics and at the same time it can be a breadwinner to yourself hence the need to balance,” he stated.

Other notable personalities present at the handover was Dr. Elizabeth Mse, MMUSO Games and Sports secretary Mr. Fabian Lenyasunya, and the Chief Executive officer Ajira Digital club MMUST Chapter Mr. Collins Ojiwa.
