Africa-Press<\/a> – Malawi<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Lilongwe University of Natural Resources (Luanar) is this Thursday set to confer President Lazarus Chakwera as its chancellor.<\/p>\n

This will be in contradiction to Chakwera\u2019s earlier statements that there was no need that a head of state should be an automatic chancellor of public universities.<\/p>\n

Chakwera has been championing major public reforms which include exclusion of heads of state as chancellor of the public universities.<\/p>\n

Chakwera will be conferred as the chancellor of LUANAR at a function that will be held at the Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n

This will be Chakwera\u2019s inaugural graduation ceremony as President of the republic.<\/p>\n

A statement from the Office of the President and Cabinet says the president will also preside over the fourth Congregation \u2013 Session 3 of the LUANAR where he will award Certificates Diplomas and Degrees.<\/p>\n

Dean of faculty of Agriculture at the college, Patsani Kumambala said 1090 students are expected to be awarded with their certificates, diplomas, degrees and PhDs.<\/p>\n

LUANAR was created in 2011 by an act of Parliament.<\/p>\n

It is a merger between Bunda College of Agriculture \u2013 formerly a constituent college of the University of Malawi, and Natural Resources College.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
