The Academic Registrar of the Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU), Dr. Halima Wakabi Akbar has urged female students to believe in themselves if they want to achieve their dreams in life.
Dr Akbar made the remarks during International Women’s Day (IWD) 2022 celebrations held yesterday at Hamdan Girls High School in Mbale City.

Dr Akbar who is the first female Academic Registrar of IUIU tipped the students to use their presence at school wisely.
