In his address, Prof. Alfred Ngowi, the acting Vice-Chancellor and Principal, highlighted CUT’s evolution into a leading center of knowledge, positioned as a leader in various technological and innovative fields within the higher education landscape.

“Unlike traditional universities, CUT brings a wider variety and diversity into the higher education sector by contributing meaningfully through our graduates to innovations and competitiveness in various industries,” said Prof. Ngowi.

“Attend classes, complete your assignments, develop a study plan, and make use of all the student support resources that we offer,” Prof. Ngowi concluded, emphasizing the importance of embracing the academic and social experiences that CUT has to offer.

Conclusion

The official welcoming ceremony signifies the beginning of an exciting journey for the 2024 first-year students at CUT, promising a fulfilling academic and personal growth experience.
