The University of Nairobi is the most preferred source of new staff by Kenyan employers, a new study says. The study by CPS International, a marketing and social research firm, surveyed 67 universities and 50 organisations between November and January. “For every 10 jobs available, eight are likely to be taken up by public university graduates, especially those from the University of Nairobi, while the other two will likely go to private institutions like Mt Kenya,” the report says. 

The University of Nairobi has partnered with Telkom Kenya Ltd to provide its students and staff with data bundles to be used for purposes of online teaching and learning. For issues related to data bundle distribution, students and staff are requested to get in touch with the University Customer Experience Centre between 7:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. East African time.
