The Church of Uganda has handed over Busoga University to the Ministry of Education and Sports. The former private, church-founded institution will now be developed as a public university in the Busoga region.
The handover included a 215.4-acre land title, a Memorandum of Agreement between the Government of Uganda (represented by the Ministry of Education and Sports), the Registered Trustees of Church of Uganda, and Busoga University Limited. The Auditor General’s Report, which verified the assets and liabilities of the former university, was also presented.
First Lady Janet Museveni expressed gratitude to the Church of Uganda for donating the land to establish the public university. She highlighted the significance of this moment as the beginning of a government-established university in the Busoga region.
“We thank God for how far He has brought us in the process of establishing a public university in Busoga region. We can confidently say, ‘Ebenezer, thus far has the Lord brought us!'” she said.
