Mzuzu University Vice-Chancellor’s Trophy has returned this year thanks to the ongoing sponsorship from the National Bank of Malawi. At the launch held at the university’s sports complex on Saturday, Mzuzu Service Centre Manager Sam Mzungu said the bank was impressed with the trophy’s execution the previous year. “The partnership with the university through the Vice-Chancellor’s Trophy sponsorship has yielded positive outcomes. We have therefore chosen to sustain our support to offer students activities beyond their academic pursuits,” he said.

Vice-Chancellor Professor Wales Singini highlighted the importance of social interaction among students for their academic achievement.“It is important that students should be engaged in sporting activities. With the sponsorship from National Bank of Malawi, the students are highly motivated to compete at the highest level,” he said. The K7 million sponsorship will support various sports disciplines at the institution including football, netball, volleyball, basketball, and hockey.
