Message of Condolence on the passing on of Dr. Joseph Barrage Wanjui- Former Chancellor UoN. 

To the family, and friends of Dr. Joseph Barrage Wanjui, former chancellor of the University of Nairobi and prominent businessman, it is with profound sadness that i extend my deepest condolences’ for the loss you have suffered following the demise of Dr. Joseph Wanjui. Dr. Wanjui was a great leader who dedicated his life to service. He was appointed in 2003 as the first civilian Chancellor by the late former President His Excellency Mwai Kibaki. In 2004, the University conferred upon him an Honorary Doctor of Science degree in recognition of his contributions to business and industrial development. In the same year, he founded the Joe B. Wanjui Education Trust, to provide University  scholarships to over 500 bright but needy female students across Kenya.

His contributions and accomplishments have left an indelible mark on our institution, the broader education and Corporate sector. The University of Nairobi community shares in your grief and remembers Dr. Wanjui with deep respect and admiration.

On behalf of the entire University of Nairobi community, I extend our heartfelt sympathy to Dr. Wanjui’s family, friends, and colleagues during this difficult time. 

May his soul rest in eternal peace

PROF. STEPHEN KIAMA

VICE-CHANCELLOR, UNIVERSITY OF NAIROBI
