I wish you good luck on the pursuit of vital careers, remember

to live by GOD’s principles and abide by your parent’s values
and ethics. We have seen people being excited and fail to
produce impressive grades. Know the reason why you have been
admitted at the institution, follow its rules and regulations for
you to have a conducive learning environment. You are now
an adult, henceforth know what to do at the right time.
Remember you have a future to secure, its time to work extra
hard unlike having leisure in university. Remember you are
competing with the whole world’s job opportunities. Welcome
at mulungushi university with these few remarks.
