Who He Really Was

Big congratulations to the entire University of Nairobi Information and Communication Technology Centre (ICT Centre) team! You’ve officially locked in Position 1 among all central units and directorates for the 2024/2025 Performance Contract.

The Director of ICT at the University of Nairobi and Chairperson of the Kenya Network Information Centre (KeNIC) Board of Directors, Mr. Paul N. Kariuki, led a delegation to the Embassy of the Republic of Kenya in Ireland for a courtesy call on H.E. Ambassador Tabu Irina, MBS.

The directorate of ICT took part in tree planting exercise which was organized by the University of Nairobi in partnership with Safaricom. Tree planting and growing initiative aims at promoting sustainability. The exercise saw thousands of trees planted at Upper Kabete campus. 

Thursday, September 29, 2025 – The University of Nairobi (UoN) officially launched its Cybersecurity and Data Privacy initiative during an inaugural webinar attended by over 180 participants, with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (DVC) Human Resource and Administration, Professor John Mande, delivering opening remarks on behalf of the Vice-Chancellor (VC). The event brought together experts from government and regulatory bodies to address pressing issues in digital security.

In a bid to foster best practices in data privacy, the University's Data Protection Officer (DPO) welcomed a delegation from Kibabii University for a benchmarking session focused on compliance with data protection regulations.
