Since its establishment in 2002, NGUC has achieved its
success, working in partnership with Universities and Colleges experiencing
globally accepted principles of Total
Quality Higher Education and Building Center of excellence for teaching and

Nekemte, Oromia Regional State, and in Hargeissa, Somaliland among others.
For the last 17 years NGUC is attracting hundreds of
International Students from different African, Middle East, and Asia Countries,
and we are able to educate over 22,000 graduates from all the campuses. Our
student’s Populations are enrolled and hosted from over 20 countries. That why NGUC is called “the Little African Village in Addis Ababa”. This is the
Hope for Africa to build a New Generation Leadership, for the road to

pan-African spirit.
The importance of providing the TQHED to our people ensures nations’ continuous competitiveness and
sustainable development is unquestionable. Cognizant of
the decisive role of education plays to speed up the overall socio-economic
progress of the country, the government of the Federal Democratic Republic of
Ethiopia has given a high priority to education in its strategy of capacity
building and economic development. Since the issuance of the Education and
Training Policy, efforts have been made to improve higher education in quality
and accessibility for all.
So, NGUC was among privileged private Universities College who took the
advantage of the new EFDER’s education policy and aiming higher to provide
superior education and total quality higher education opportunities to the
younger generation of Ethiopia and beyond.
At this junction, My
advice to our graduating classes is, to move-on, to serve your people and help
your community to lift them up from life of poverty level, fill the gaps of our
national Leadership Vacuums, be an entrepreneur, problem solver, peacemaker,
hope for the nation, serve with clean hands and clean mind for all humanity,
and do not be selfish, think of others. Finally, do not stop learning, continue
to grow: mentally, emotionally, and intellectually, economically, socially and
etc. Do not forget that NGUC is your Academic and intellectual home. So you are our Ambassadors wherever you may
go.
