Uganda’s Head of State H.E Y K Museveni has accepted the construction of Bunyoro university after meeting legislators from the sub region who had for long advocated for the establishment of a public university in the sub region.
The President affirmed the idea with a Tweet yesterday after meeting with leaders from the western Ugandan sub region.
Bunyoro caucus leader, doubling as nations Prime Minister Rt Hon Nabbanja thanked the president for accepting the idea of starting the university in the sub region.
“The president really has okayed the proposal and he has directed that we organise a technical committee to see how best now we can start. We had a chance that the minister of Finance comes from Bunyoro and the president directed the ministry of finance to start the process of putting budget the money that will help us to kick start this university in the next financial year,” she said.
Bunyoro is one of the three major sub regions without a public university. The others are Karamoja and Bugisu and the President had over the last three presidential campaigns promised the sub region a public university.
