Today we hosted H.E. Dr. Aziz Ponary Mlima, High Commissioner of United Republic of Tanzania to the Republic of Uganda at the Julius Nyerere Leadership Centre to celebrate Nyerere at 100. We are proud of this gallant Makerere University alumnus, a great African freedom fighter and visionary leader. We also visited Nyerere’s former room in the Old Mitchell Hall, now Complex Hall.

The first visit to Makerere University by H.E. Karin Boven Ambassador of the Netherlands in Uganda has been a happy one. I thank the Netherlands for supporting our School of Public Health to train health professionals for Uganda and Africa.

We have noted misleading messages originating from Mak Guild leadership regarding the opening of the University. All students and other stakeholders are advised that the first semester will open in a staggered manner and using blended methods of teaching and learning as per the schedule (Link below). Students must adhere to this schedule.
