According to Nabukwesi, the world is entering the fourth industrial revolution, which is characterized by a knowledge economy and technological advancement.

“We are using laser technology to communicate and transmit data across the world. In the medical field, lasers are used to treat eyes, undertake non-invasive operations and even treat cancer,” said the PS.

He stated that today’s key drivers of economic development and transformations are research, innovation, and technology.

“This country has been a leader in the region in terms of education, manufacturing, and investment, so we must continue to uphold those standards,” said the PS.

Amb. Prof Festus Kaberia, Vice Chancellor of Multimedia University, stated that the laboratories are a springboard that will usher in a new era for the university.

“We are grateful for this day because the facility has made a mark in the landscape of Kenyan Universities,” he said.
