Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has mourned former University of Nairobi Chancellor Dr. Vijoo Rattansi.

Uhuru remembered her as a visionary educationist, philanthropist and trailblazing leader whose decade-long stewardship transformed Kenya's oldest university and opened educational opportunities for thousands of deserving students.

Dr. Rattansi, who passed away on Thursday, July 30, made history in 2013 when she became the first woman to serve as Chancellor of the University of Nairobi, a position she held until 2023.
