The new Chancellor, Most Rev. Gervas John Mwasikwabhila Nyaisonga made his maiden official visit to the two University Campuses from Saturday October 17, 2026.
CUEA Gaba Campus welcomed the Chancellor on Saturday, October 17, 2026.
During the visit, he inspected the ongoing renewal works at Gaba, met with student leaders, and held an engagement with CUEA Gaba staff. The visit provided an opportunity to review the campus’s development progress and interact with members of the Gaba community.
Gaba Campus is undertaking infrastructure renewal works aimed at improving the campus environment and essential services. One of the ongoing projects is the construction of new main sewer lines to strengthen sanitation and wastewater management. These improvements are important in promoting hygiene, environmental responsibility, and the well-being of students, staff, and visitors.
On Monday, October 19, 2026 Most Rev. Gervas Nyaisonga was at Langata Campus where he also met all the Staff and later on Student leaders. In Langata, he also toured all the key facilities to familiarize himself with the campus.
In his interaction with the staff, the Chancellor appreciated all the staff for their commitment in their daily duties, which enables the University to carry on with the vision of CUEA’s founding fathers and the current AMECEA bishops as a centre of excellence.
Most Rev. Nyaisonga who is the Archbishop of Mbeya, Tanzania also got a chance to hear of the experiences of staff at the University and some of the challenges that they have faced in the recent past.
During his first official visit to CUEA Gaba Campus, the Chancellor, Rev. Gervas Nyaisonga, also celebrated Sunday Mass at the CUEA Gaba Chaplaincy on the occasion of the 100th Anniversary of World Mission Sunday. His visit and the liturgical celebration brought the week to a meaningful close for the campus community.
