About

Mama Ngina University College is a constituent college of Kenyatta University but was initially under the mentorship of Moi University. However, in a letter dated 24th October 2016, the Cabinet Secretary of the Ministry of Education transferred the responsibility of mentoring Mama Ngina University College to Kenyatta University. The University Senate and Council approved the mentoring of the college as per its Charter and Statutes and on 13th January 2017, Mama Ngina University College was officially handed over to Kenyatta University. The University embarked on the establishment, accreditation, and operationalization of Mama Ngina University College and undertook various steps. Committees at multiple levels were set up to drive the operationalization of Mama Ngina University College. Kenyatta University acquired 10.3 acres of land in the Mutomo area, Gatundu South, to which it holds a title deed under her name. In April 2019, the Chancellor of Kenyatta University, Dr. Benson Wairegi, officiated the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of the first phase of an administration block and a lecturer theatre, which were completed in July 2021.
