Prof. James Njihia, the Dean of Faculty of Business and Management Science led the academia in mourning the young academic icon whom he described as “very focused, very responsible young man”. He continued further, “I was in the interview panel, when he was employed.  He came and impressed us with his experience from the private sector.  He was a self-starter. He was not used to complaining, but would offer solutions to the problems at hand and would give opportunities to students to travel around the world,” he said.

He further divulged that they are the number one cosmetics company in the world, with over 85,000 employees, 517 patents and making over six billion euros in profits.
