During the handover and dedication ceremony of Nakuru City's only FIBA-standard basketball court at Kabarak University City Campus, Vice Chancellor Prof. Henry Kiplangat emphasized the university's commitment to nurturing talent and equipping students with 21st-century skills. The International Basketball Federation (FIBA) is the governing body for international basketball competitions, and a FIBA-standard court ensures that the facility meets the highest global standards.
Speaking to the students present, Prof. Kiplangat assured them that the university is fully dedicated to providing the necessary resources to support their growth both academically and in extracurricular activities. He highlighted the importance of such facilities in fostering a holistic education that prepares students for the challenges of the modern world.
The new basketball court, alongside the adjacent lawn tennis pitch dedicated by the Kabarak University Ag Provost Rev. Justus Mutuku, is set to become a vibrant hub for talent development at Kabarak University. Prof. Kiplangat expressed his enthusiasm for the potential of these facilities, envisioning them as places where future sports stars will be groomed to compete on the global stage. With thousands of tennis balls expected to bounce on either side of the court, these resources are seen as instrumental in helping students conquer the world in both basketball and tennis, aligning with the university's mission to raise well-rounded individuals equipped for success.
