GERD, a source of unshakable pride for Ethiopia and a lasting beacon of hope for its people!
Congratulations!
The Grand Ethiopian Dam (GERD) stands as an immense national achievement far beyond being a proud source of hydroelectric energy. It is a renaissance of hope, a testament to an unshakable national pride and a powerful symbol of the strength and resilience of the Ethiopian people and their institutions. Ethiopia’s successful completion of this massive project has demonstrated to the world that Ethiopians can overcome any setback and accomplish even great things when they stand united around gallant and transformative national goals.
On behalf of the entire Haramaya University community, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the Ethiopian government and its people on this historic achievement. I also congratulate the country’s diverse institutions that tirelessly contributed to the completion of the massive hydroelectric dam. Your unwavering support for the government’s farsighted mission and vision to transform Ethiopia’s energy landscape has made this colossal achievement possible.
Through their academic excellence, research and meaningful community engagement, the Ethiopian higher learning institutions are expected to contribute to the realization of their country’s grand development aspirations. Haramaya University greets GERD as a catalyst for sustainable development, energy equality and technological advancement. Our university reaffirms its unwavering commitment to supporting and advancing Ethiopia’s renaissance through its pillars of teaching, research and community engagement. We will work indefatigably to uphold the vision behind both the GERD and the Green Legacy Initiative. GERD and other great achievements that Ethiopia has made serve us as an enduring inspiration, a beacon of hope for building a country rooted in sustainable development, economic advancement, societal resilience and collective growth. With this spirit, our university will work steadfastly to engage in cutting-edge research, foster change-inspiring innovations and cultivate vision-guided citizens who, with their firm commitment and profound passion, strive to shape the future of their beloved nation in a transformative direction.
Let this milestone inspire us all to dream big and stand together to build a prosperous and proud Ethiopia, a self-reliant and dignified nation.
