It was with great shock and regret that we at the Busoga Consortium for Development (BCD) learnt of the sad news of the untimely demise of one of our elders Mzee Prof. Hon. Dr. Frank Wilberforce Nabwiso that occurred on 14th December 2024.
As a person, I had opportunity to interact and host Hon. Nabwiso for candid exchanges on the future of Busoga on several instances. At the time when the Busoga Consortium for Development (BCD) was crafting the 10 year Busoga Development Agenda (BDA) (2020/21-2030/31) for steering Busogaβs transformation to prosperity, Hon Nabwiso is among the key brains who made valuable input to defining of the Busoga of our dream as elaborated in the BDA. Before his death, he had promised to make use of his great writing skill to the benefit of the Consortium as we seek to conceptualize the BDA pillars into bankable projects to aid our resource mobilization to the benefit of Busoga.
The Knowledge and wisdom shared by Hon Frank Nabwiso as a Parent, Leader and Elder will be greatly missed. He has lived a complete life of a true Statesman and Pan-Africanist as reflected by his journey of life.
On behalf of the BCD leadership, I convey condolences to the family, people of Busoga and Uganda at large on the passing on of an Icon of wisdom, stability and transformation.
May the Almighty God grant him a peaceful eternal rest.
