It was a moment of pride and nostalgia for President Lazarus Chakwera who returned to Chancellor College in the Eastern city of Zomba where he was among its first graduates but this time around, he was being installed as Chancellor of the University of Malawi (Unima.)

Chakwera is an alumnus of Unima after he graduated from Chilunga campus of Chancellor College before he went on to obtain a Doctor of Philosophy degree from the Pan African Theology Seminary in the United States of America.
“ The four years I spent at this college was instrumental in shaping my worldview, not only because of the quality of education I received but also because of the quality of young men and women who were sent here,” said Chakwera in his address.
President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera was on Thursday inaugurated as the 6th Chancellor of the University of Malawi (UNIMA) since Founder President late Dr Kamuzu Banda.
Accepting the call, the Malawi leader challenged the UNIMA Council to âtake back the University to years where quality of graduates mattered more than the qualificationsâ.
The President said: âIt takes a truly educated individual not to waste a crisis such as COVID-19, but to try to find a lasting solution.â
Turning to the graduating students, the Malawi leader challenged them to regard themselves âas job creators not job seekersâ.
The President belonged to the inaugural cohort of UNIMA’s Chancellor College having entered it in 1973.
