The Pioneer, Prof. Shem Wandiga
Professor Shem Wandiga directly credited his career success to the historic African Students Airlift project organized by Tom Mboya. The airlift provided him with the life-changing opportunity to leave Kenya and pursue elite scientific training in the United States.

Prof. Wandiga was the first indigenous African Chairman of the Department of Chemistry at the University of Nairobi. A pioneer.

Professor Shem Wandiga was the very first Principal of the College of Biological and Physical Sciences (CBPS)

A gentle giant, a pioneer, Rest in Peace Prof.
