PIC: Mlowoka making a symbolic handover of office to Chirwa
Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS) formerly Polytechnic management team, on May 4, 2021 held a swearing in ceremony for the new office bearers of the Students Council.

The ceremony took place at the ODL auditorium where all the other positions were sworn in except the position of the president where there are still irregularities.

The University Chaplain Reverend Patrick Mbanga is the one who conducted the ceremony where the outgoing president Kunozga Mlowoka made a symbolical hand over of office to the incumbent vice president Sarah Chirwa.

In his remarks, Mlowoka, acknowledged the support which was rendered to his team by the Management and students. He further encouraged the new team to work with management even though sometimes disagreements may arise.

The Acting Principal Dr Nancy Chitera advised the new members to be consistent on how they balance their academics and leadership. She further applauded the out going team for their resilience, understanding and cooperative behavior which they have shown during their tenure of office.

“There were times where we could disagree in meetings but at the end, we were reaching a compromise. To the incoming team, remember you are a student first, therefore work hard in your studies, you will not receive special treatment in academics because you are a member of the student union,” said Dr Chitera.

The Vice President Sarah Chirwa, in her speech promised to work with  management to effectively help in looking at the welfare of the students.

Finally, the Dean of Students Gertrude Sitolo Banda also advised the incoming team to be disciplined and exemplary in whatever they do on and off campus.
