1970-The University of Nairobi is Born

Abstract

No doubt much is expected of universities by society throughout the world today and particularly in the developing world. Development is the key word in Kenya today and increasingly it is being realized that the way to development lies in making the best use of our human resources. Lack of qualified manpower is a more serious constraint on progress than lack of either finance or natural resources. Kenya, therefore, looks to its national University to fill some of the crucial gaps in her manpower needs.
