Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>The minister of Education and Sports, Ms Janet Kataha Museveni, has appointed Prof Samuel Kyamanywa to head the taskforce for the establishment of Bunyoro University.<\/p>\n

In a June 7 letter, the minister said Prof Kyamanywa will execute duties of the chairperson of the management committee to establish Bunyoro University as a public institution.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am pleased to appoint you to serve as the chairperson of the taskforce management committee to establish Bunyoro University as a public university. You will carry out duties under the schedule of vice-chancellor in accordance with Universities and Other Tertiary Institutions Act, 2001, as amended,\u201d a copy of the letter addressed to Prof Kyamanywa reads.<\/p>\n

Prof Kyamanywa works in the Department of Crop Science at the Faculty of Agriculture at Makerere University.<\/p>\n

The appointment has been welcomed by most stakeholders in Bunyoro, who say this is the first concrete sign that the university will start soon.<\/p>\n

The executive director of Bunyoro Choice Uganda, Mr Phenehance Kyotasobora, said the appointment of Prof Kyamanywa gives hope.<\/p>\n

\u201cI call upon all people in Bunyoro to embrace the required steps to have our university legitimate to have a fully-fledged budget for it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI also urge MPs to ensure that a Statutory Instrument is enhanced by Parliament to mandate the government to include it in its budgetary priorities of the coming financial years,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

During presidential campaigns in Bunyoro in 2020, President Museveni told the people to offer him 400 acres of land for the university to be constructed.<\/p>\n

This was after area political leaders and Bunyoro Kingdom officials asked the government to establish the university there, saying the lack of a higher education facility was hampering the sub-region\u2019s development.<\/p>\n

Since then, there has been a series of meetings between stakeholders and President Museveni on progress of the university.<\/p>\n
