Prime Minister Dr. Pierre Damien Habumuremyi that was the chief Guest at the ceremony advised granduates to create jobs instead of seeking jobs.
“You will be defined by your hard work. Your work is what will give you the dignity you deserve and build your country,” He said.

Education Minister Dr. Vincent Biruta urged graduates on entrepreneurship. He told them to strive and become employers.
“After graduating from your respective institutions, what follows is not flipping through the newspapers looking for jobs. You should leave this place to be entrepreneurs and becoming employers.” Biruta said.
During the graduation ceremony, 9 outstanding students received special recognition.
Kicukiro College of Technology was established in 2008 and currently has 1586 students.
