WANDEGEYA: Dr James Luyonga Nkata has been installed as the first ever Chancellor of YMCA Comprehensive Institute, a post he will run for five years, promising to upgrade the institute to a University scale.

Dr Nkata’s inauguration has brought down the gap that had delayed the degree program at the institution that has been in existence since 1986.

His inauguration turns YMCA the forth institute in the category of ‘the other degree awarding institutions’ in the country. The other three institutes in the category are the; Uganda Management Institute, Makerere Business School and Team Business Institute.

Speaking at his inauguration ceremony at YMCA in Kampala at the weekend, Dr Nkata said he will use his expertise to turn around YMCA into a “fully-fledged” institution and asked the staff for support.

“When a man buys a car, it becomes a mandate for his wife to learn how to drive. But if the woman does not bother about learning how to drive the car, the man may be tempted to look for someone who can fit in his grade,” Dr Nkata philosophically told the staff on the new standards he might adopt to achieve his visions.

The event was graced by Dr Robinson Nsumba, the commissioner of Private Schools and Institutions at the Ministry of Education and Sports, who told the newly crowned Chancellor that the responsibility he has assumed requires a lot of integrity, honest and accountability to the appointing authorities.

“We therefore expect you to execute your duties in respect to the objectives of YMCA and NCHE,” said Dr Nsumba after installing the Chancellor.

Dr Nkata said YMCA is yet to setup a university that is under construction in Buwambo, Wakiso district.

Others installed in the board of the institute are Dr Robert Joseph Jjumba as Chairman Governing Council, Mr Hebert Mukasa the as Principal of the institute.

By virtue of Dr Nkata’s installation as chancellor, YMCA, the institute will start awarding degrees in study fields such as; Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Information Technology, Bachelor of Secretarial and Administrative studies, Bachelor of Catering and Hospitality Studies and Bachelor of Cosmetology Administration.

Who is Dr Nkata?

Dr James Nkata holds a PhD in Institution Management. He has served in capacities like Director General of Uganda Management Institute. He has also been a member of Board of Trustees for Mutesa 1 Royal University and a member on the Uganda YMCA National Council.
