The University of Nairobi proudly hosted the official opening ceremony of the Annual Conference of the African Finance and Economic Association (AFEA) 2025 on July 16, 2025. This was a prestigious continental gathering of scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in the fields of finance and economics. The three-day event is being jointly organised by the Department of Economics and Development Studies, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, University of Nairobi.

The University of Nairobi on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, received a delegation from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) during a courtesy call to the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Margaret Hutchinson. The visit marked the beginning of a week-long engagement aimed at formulating a comprehensive partnership framework between the two institutions.

Prof. Isaac Meroka Mbeche, Deputy Vice Chancellor (Finance Planning and Development) and Professor of Management Science at the School of Business has retired with effect from March 21, 2020.  Consequently, Prof. Mbeche, having left University service through retirement, automatically ceased being the Deputy Vice Chancellor (FPD).  It follows, therefore, that the post of Deputy Vice Chancellor (FPD) is now vacant.
