➡️As Scotts Christian University marked its 60th graduation ceremony on 5th/12/2025, the institution hosted Professor David Ndetei, founding director of AFRIMEB and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Nairobi, as Chief Guest. The event drew senior academic leaders and administrators from several universities, with goodwill messages shared by colleagues across the higher education sector.
Professor Ndetei’s address, met with warm applause, revisited lessons from his maternal uncle an alumnus of the AIC Bible School, which once stood on the same grounds before relocating to its current site. His uncle often reminded him of the five reasons God created us: to serve Him, obey Him, love Him, worship Him, and pray to Him. Ndetei noted that these teachings continue to guide his work and worldview.
Speaking on harnessing technology and faith for sustainable transformation, he highlighted how deeply technology is now ingrained into everyday life, especially in medicine. A handheld ultrasound, he said, can detect pregnancy complications within minutes, while a simple mobile phone can remind patients living with hypertension or diabetes to take their medication. He also noted that technology has opened new frontiers in education, allowing students to access knowledge through virtual learning and participate in webinars from anywhere in the world. These are not distant possibilities but real shifts reshaping both healthcare and learning globally.
He closed by urging graduates to step into the world with knowledge grounded in faith, humility, and purpose reminding them that their skills are needed now more than ever.
