With the 62nd place out of 1104 African institutions of EDURANKING of October 2022 (The University of Kinshasa-Unikin- will wear this armband throughout 2023), the second Rankings (in fact the first Annual) internal of Unikin, based on a background of scientific deliverables multiplied (in quantity and quality) by a factor of at least 10 compared to 2021, the First Prizes-Researchers -Unikin-Monseigneur Tshibangu, the African decoration (echoing the Unikinoise decoration) of Prof. Tshimanga, the abundance of scientific publications, this magnificent indexing of the journal of the environment and agriculture (all our congratulations to Professor Minengu et al), etc., unikin has indisputably entered a new era.

By the way, did you see the image of our Scholar Muyembe Tamfum, on December 24, at the Léon de Saint Moulin amphitheater, lifting his number 1 trophy, Grand Prix du Meilleur Chercheur Unikin 2022 – Monseigneur Tshibangu, under the clamor of the crowd, colored by different faculties, crowded in the stands? A true happiness, communicative and readable on his face! Everything is unprecedented and historic. This end of the year 2022 is truly blessed, and there is really no need, for some, to continue to want to fight against the wave of excellence. So, let us apply ourselves without limit, for an even more prolific year 2023. I deeply believe in it, the hand of God guides us. Glory to God! All my best wishes for an excellent year 2023 to you and all your families.
