Islamic University of Kenya has opened its branch in Garissa town five months after it received its charter.
The university received the charter on November 5, 2024, from President William Ruto, an event that officially recognized the university's status under the Universities Act (2012).
Speaking at the ceremony that was held at a Garissa hotel, the university's board, led by Sheikh Mohamed Osman, thanked President Ruto for recognizing the role played by the institution in imparting knowledge to Kenyans.
While urging the youth to take advantage of the opportunity to enroll for various courses at the university, Osman described the charter as a milestone, especially for the North Eastern region, as far as promoting education standards is concerned.
