YOUTH UTILISING JITUME LAB

In March 2024, H.E President William Samoei Ruto officially opened the Nyeri National Polytechnic’s Jitume ICT Lab and Open, Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) Centre, marking a significant step in Kenya’s journey toward building an inclusive Digital and Creative Economy under the Bottom-Up Economic Transformation Agenda (BETA). 

This modern facility is a 24/7 digital workspace that has already begun to bridge the gap between education and employment. It brings together the Jitume Lab, which provides digital skills training and the Ajira Digital Program, which connects users to real online jobs.

Statement on the Student Protest of 22nd May 2026 and Closure of the Institution

Yesterday, 22nd May 2026, a section of trainees at The Nyeri National Polytechnic staged a protest outside the institution's premises. The protest escalated to violence and disruption of the Polytechnic’s activities. It took several hours for the county security team to contain the situation.

The Governing Council, in consultation with the security team, has assessed the prevailing circumstances and resolved to close the Polytechnic with effect from today, 23rd May 2026, until further notice.

All trainees are directed to vacate the institution's premises, including the hostels, by 8:00 a.m. Saturday, 23rd May 2026.

The Council regrets the disruption this decision causes to trainees, staff, parents, and guardians, and thanks the institution's stakeholders for their patience and cooperation during this period.

All trainees, staff, parents, and members of the public are advised to take note of this directive and comply accordingly. Further communication regarding reopening and subsequent arrangements shall be issued through official institutional channels at the appropriate time.
