He admonished staff to renew their commitment to duty and vowed not to relent until the University attains a commendable level of global competitiveness and world-class status.

Speaking through his representative, the Visitor assured the University community of government’s continued support. Furthermore, the governor advised the traditional rulers of the host communities to partner with University Management to ensure the actualization of the aims and objectives of the University.

The high point of the occasion was the cutting of the anniversary cake and the award of certificates of merits and prizes to deserving staff namely the overall best staff (ie KOMU staff of the year 2021/2022), best academic staff, best non-teaching staff (senior category), best non-teaching staff (junior category) and best security personnel.
