Social media is abuzz with spirited debates among alumni from various public universities, each vying for the title of the nation’s premier institution in light of the rapid emergence of cutting-edge infrastructure that is reshaping their campuses. Lawyer Ayuba James, representing the University of Malawi, confidently asserts that the new administration block rising on campus reaffirms the university’s status as the “mother of all universities” in the country—a standard, he claims, that will remain unmatched by others for decades.
However, Mzuzu University alumni are not sitting idly by; they have fiercely championed their institution, highlighting the construction of a state-of-the-art library that they believe will become the defining symbol of Mzuzu University’s modern identity.
Senior political and social analyst John Masina, affiliated with Shire Times, views this lively exchange as a testament to the robust leadership under President Lazarus Chakwera. “The surge in world-class infrastructure across these public universities reflects the visionary leadership of Chancellor Lazarus Chakwera, reminiscent of the uncompromising standards set during the Kamuzu era,” Masina remarked in an interview.
