President Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera is expected to preside over the 2025 graduation ceremony for the Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences (MUBAS) on Monday, 26th May 2025.
The event will take place at the MUBAS football grounds in Blantyre, where hundreds of graduating students will receive certificates, diplomas, and degrees.
The graduation ceremony, known as the Service Congregation, is a significant academic milestone for MUBAS and marks the culmination of years of hard work and academic pursuit for the graduates.
As Chancellor of the University of Malawi system, President Chakwera is scheduled to officiate the occasion and confer the various academic awards to deserving graduates.
This public engagement highlights the President’s continued commitment to advancing education, skills development, and youth empowerment in Malawi.
It also reflects government’s recognition of higher education institutions as vital contributors to national development through research, innovation, and human capital growth.
According to a programme released by Capital Hill, the President will arrive in Blantyre in the morning to perform this important ceremonial duty.
The event is expected to draw government officials, university staff, students, parents, and stakeholders from various sectors of the country.
Security has been heightened around the MUBAS campus to ensure a smooth and successful function.
This graduation ceremony comes at a time when Malawi continues to emphasize the importance of technical and business education in driving industrialization and economic transformation.
President Chakwera is expected to deliver a keynote address encouraging graduates to be agents of change and innovation in their communities.
The Malawi University of Business and Applied Sciences, formerly known as the Polytechnic, is one of the country’s leading institutions specializing in engineering, commerce, applied sciences, and technology.
The university continues to expand its academic programmes and research initiatives to align with Malawi 2063 aspirations and the country’s development agenda.
The President’s presence at the event will not only inspire the graduating class but also reinforce the administration’s support for academic excellence in Malawi.
