On June 9, 2020, the University of Nairobi appointed two acting deputy vice-chancellors, marking a significant change in the institution's leadership.
Prof Stephen Kiama, the Vice-Chancellor, named Prof Enos Njeru as the acting deputy vice-chancellor for human resources and administration, a position he will hold for six months. Prof Njeru previously served as the principal of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
Prof Kiama also appointed Prof Margaret Hutchison as the acting deputy vice-chancellor for finance, planning, and development. This appointment follows the retirement of Prof Isaac Meroka Mbeche in May 2020, who had been serving as the deputy vice-chancellor for finance, planning, and development.
Prof Kiama congratulated the new team and wished them success in their new roles, citing the provisions of the University of Nairobi statute as the basis for the appointments.
Prof Mohamud Jama has taken over as the acting principal at the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, while Prof Atiya Warris has been named acting deputy principal at the same college.
