Malawi’s head of mission to Japan, Major General Reuben Ngwenya, has academically earned himself a prestigious doctorate degree after he successfully defended his doctoral thesis in Strategic and Change Management at the University of Bolton in the UK. Following this development, the Ambassador can now be addressed as Major General Dr. Reuben Ngwenya.
The topic of his thesis was “Effective Collaborative Leadership among Security Actors to achieve sustainable national security and prosperity in Malawi,” of which its overall goal was to develop a holistic strategic national security policy to guide effective collaboration and make Malawi the most peaceful and prosperous country in Africa.
Dr. Ngwenya, a former Senior Lecturer at Mzuzu University, who was holding a Master Degree in Strategic Management from the University of Derby in the UK— started his doctoral studies in 2011 and he was in the same cohort with the Malawi Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima who graduated recently from the same UK based institution of higher learning.
