The Prime Minister of Buganda Owekitiibwa Charles Peter Mayiga has urged university students to be patient and not rush for richness.
Mayiga made the remarks during the Nsibirwa annual lecture held at Makerere University CTF 2 auditorium in memory of the late Buganda Prime Minister (Katikkiro) Martin Luther Nsibirwa on Friday May, 6th 2022.
Owek. Charles Peter Mayiga says young people ought to work hard and be patient as they can’t become rich till they clock 50 years of age.
“Everybody who wants to make a success of his/her life must work hard, must work patiently. I usually tell young people you can’t become rich till you are 50,” Owek Charlse Peter Mayiga said.
Owek Peter Mayiga says after campus, one is expected to try out different things and that by 30, one must have stabilized. He says one can only be a professional after 5 years of working and that its then that one can be experienced to make profits.
Owek Charlse Peter Mayiga was a keynote speaker and the guest-of-honour during the Nsibirwa annual lecture. The lecture was part of the Makerere at 100 lecture series.
He (Owek Mayiga) thanked Makerere for organizing the lecture and making him who he is today, saying its time to give back.
Martin Luther Nsibirwa was recognized for his efforts to ensure that Makerere University acquires over 300 acres of land on which it currently sits. It is alleged that this development is the reason behind the late Martin Luther Nsibirwa’s assassination.
Rhoda Nsibirwa Kalema, a daughter to the late Martin Luther Nsibirwa said by enabling Makerere University acquire land, her father sacrificed his life.
In memory of the late, Makerere University named one of its halls of residence Nsibirwa hall, after the late Katikkiro Martin Luther Nsibirwa.
