Thyolo, May 18, Mana: President Lazarus Chakwera has been installed as the second chancellor of the Malawi University of Science and Technology (MUST) since its establishment in 2012 by late Professor Bingu Wa Mutharika.
In his address during the 2nd congregation at the University’s campus in Thyolo on Tuesday, Chakwera said university graduates such as those from MUST are a pillar towards the achievement of MW2063.
“Graduates have to be equipped with scientific, technological skills and knowledge which will help end poverty in Malawi as we are moving towards achieving the Agenda 2063,” Chakwera said.
He said a graduation ceremony is called a commencement because it marks the beginning of a new life and not the end in itself.
