The State University of Zanzibar (SUZA) marked its 25th anniversary with a solidarity walk in Unguja, bringing together government leaders, university management, staff, students and other stakeholders to celebrate the institution’s contribution to higher education, research and innovation over the past quarter-century.
The event, led by Zanzibar Minister of State in the President’s Office for Regional Administration, Local Government and Special Departments, Idrissa Kitwana Mustafa, highlighted SUZA’s growing role in supporting Zanzibar’s development agenda. Participants also reaffirmed their commitment to institutional unity, inclusive education and resource mobilisation, including support for students with disabilities through the Goli la Faraja initiative and the proposed University Endowment Fund. The walk started at the Office of the Mufti of Zanzibar in Mazizini and concluded at Maisara Grounds in the Urban West Region. The anniversary celebration provided an opportunity to reflect on SUZA’s achievements, strengthen stakeholder partnerships and renew its commitment to advancing higher education and socio-economic development in Zanzibar and beyond.
