Dr Ekrah Ndung’u Eulogises Liz Wanyoike
Very sad news for our TVET sector, we’d like to send our sincere condolences to her family & our colleague Allan Njenga Principal NIBS. We’ve lost a general,a role model and a mentor for all of us. Mrs Lizzie Wanyoike has left an indelible mark in our hearts & a great impact.
The kindest, loveliest, most selfless person you will ever meet. She was brave, softspoken, and always there for anyone who needed her. She was one of the pioneers of KENAPCO(Kenya National Association of Private Colleges) ..Lizzie was selfless,when our sector was challenged her and other institutions would give their own resources to shape the TVET sector. She did it without looking that other institutions will benefit.
She had an abundance mentality,she could also mentor other founders. The growth of NIBS Technical college through her leadership remains an inspiration & a benchmark to private TVETs.
Education sector has lost a pioneer & a great brain. So sad that the cruel hand of death just picked the most beautiful & promising flower from the garden. Just like snow grief melts away with time,we will come to terms with this loss as time goes by though this has left many Kenapco members speechless.
There is not enough paper in the world to even begin to write a tribute for her, but no one deserves it more than her…she’s been a great leader in the private TVETs sector.
Dr Ekrah Ndungu Chairperson KENAPCO said
” the memory of Lizzie Wanyoike will continue to inspire and uplift us as we navigate this world without her. Together as private TVETs, we honor her legacy and cherish the moments we shared with her, we thank God for the years He gave Lizzie to this nation.
She’s mentored,transformed many lives. God used her in a big way in this generation. We will truly miss her wisdom and warmth.
…”At a personal level off my role in kenapco, I was privileged to work with Lizzie at NIBs pioneer house, my career journey started way back with her, she’s been a constant mentor and a cheerleader. She’s been a mother sharing life advices and inspiring leadership” said Dr Ekrah
Kenapco family had a sad day and all were saddened by our colleague’s departure to a journey that she’ll never come back. The sad news were broken by Kreston medical training college to members.
“What a great loss ! Our sector has lost a beacon.
May her soul rest in eternal peace” said Mr Mutie the immediate former Chairman KENAPCO & Director Kenya Institute of social work & community development who worked very closely with Lizzie during KENAPCO formation shaping the private TVET sector.
I’m speechless….Fatma Wanjiku Rythyms College Director remembered Lizzie Wanyoike and how they worked together when she was serving as Secretary General as well as another former secretary General KENAPCO Mr Mureria of Sahara Institute.

“So sad. Liz was a big heroine in this sector. We will forever remember her” Said Boniface from UK based examination body ABE.

Prof Catherine Gacutha director Kenya Institute of Business and counseling said “Lizzie was a gallant, a champion in many ways, an example to be emulated. She has stood out to be counted. She counselled and supported her staffs and students from the heart. May the Lord rest her soul in eternal peace and grant all those she influenced the zeal to do more”
Another former Chairperson and Kenapco founder Mrs Ann Kimani who was very close to Mrs Lizzie Wanyoike was speechless for loosing a friend said “She certainly is a pacesetter. We will miss her”
Another Director,Mr Matu Wahome the director Royal Business school said “A very big loss to the education fraternity. She has left a rich legacy. May her soul rest in peace.”
KENAPCO members had so many condolence messages in memory of Lizzie Wanyoike one of the greatest pillars in private TVETS sector.
