President Barrow presided over the first convocation ceremony for the first group of homegrown engineers at the University of Applied Science, Engineering, and Technology (USET) in Brikama on Saturday, along with the joint commissioning of the College of Science and Engineering (CoSE) Building.
“The occasion represents not only the overwhelming development of our tertiary education sector, but also a new chapter in our ambition to transform The Gambia into a knowledge-driven, technologically empowered, and self-reliant nation,” the President stated, expressing joy at the event.
Twenty-eight (28) students from the Departments of Mechanical Engineering, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and Civil Engineering graduated during the convocation.
In recognition of President Barrow’s tangible accomplishments as well as his lasting legacy of integrity, vision, and service—a true architect of national progress—the University of Applied Science, Engineering and Technology (USET) awarded him an honorary Doctor of Engineering and Technology (Honoris Causa) during the event.
