MNUAT Champions Safe Campus Students Empowered to Combat Sexual Harassment Drug Abuse and HIV AIDS

Students of Mwalimu Nyerere University of Agriculture and Technology (MNUAT) have been called upon to uphold dignity, responsibility, and respect by avoiding behaviors linked to sexual harassment, drug abuse, and the spread of HIV/AIDS both within and beyond the university environment.

The call was made today, May 1, 2026, at the Oswald Mang’ombe Campus in Butiama by the Deputy Vice Chancellor for Planning, Finance, and Administration, Prof. Lemayon Melyoki, during the launch of a transformative one day training program designed to equip students with knowledge and practical skills to address these critical social and health challenges.

Addressing participants, Prof. Melyoki underscored the importance of empathy and moral responsibility in shaping a respectful campus culture.

“Everyone should consider others as close relatives and reflect on how they would wish to be treated whether through harassment or kindness. This mindset is key to preventing mistreatment,” he emphasized.

He further highlighted that mutual respect and strong personal values are essential in preventing sexual harassment and promoting a safe and inclusive academic environment. The Deputy Vice Chancellor also reaffirmed the University’s unwavering commitment to student welfare, assuring that MNUAT remains a secure space for all.

“As the university leadership, we are committed to maintaining a friendly and supportive environment, while strengthening systems that allow students to report any form of abuse or concern,” he added.

The training also placed strong emphasis on the dangers of drug abuse, noting its direct link to risky behaviors, declining academic performance, and increased vulnerability to sexual exploitation and HIV infection. Students were encouraged to make informed choices and become ambassadors of positive change among their peers.

In addition, sessions on HIV/AIDS awareness aimed to deepen students’ understanding of prevention, testing, and stigma reduction, reinforcing the importance of responsible behavior in safeguarding individual and public health.

Earlier, the Head of the Diversity Unit, Dr. Jacquiline Ndosi, outlined the objectives of the training and expressed appreciation to the Office of the Deputy Vice Chancellor for Planning, Finance, and Administration for their support in making the initiative a success.

“This training is a vital step in empowering our students with the awareness and confidence needed to confront sexual harassment, resist drug abuse, and promote HIV/AIDS prevention within the university and the broader community,” she noted.
