The initiative to establish the first university in Wajir County has received a major financial boost. The Wajir University Trust successfully mobilized Sh115 million to fund the development of the proposed Wajir Peace University.

This funding is a critical step towards realizing the county's ambition to provide higher education opportunities locally, fostering peace and development in the region.

The Wajir Peace University aims to serve as a center for academic excellence and community advancement, addressing educational gaps in northeastern Kenya.
