Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Councillors in Koboko Municipality have passed a resolution to name a block at St Charles Lwanga College Koboko after the school\u2019s former head teacher, Moses Atiku Azabo.<\/p>\n

Atiku, aged 53, succumbed to diabetes on Monday.<\/p>\n

The councillors passed the resolution on Tuesday during a special council session to pay tribute to the late for his contribution towards regaining the lost academic glory of the school during his one-year tenure.<\/p>\n

Mr Moses Lemeriga Sabino, the chairperson North Division, who moved the motion, said Atiku had initiated several projects.<\/p>\n

Ms Faiza Asina, the Isoko ward councillor, remembers the deceased as a simple, kind, and God-fearing person, who dedicated his life to moving the school to greater heights.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur head teacher was close to God. His examples should tell the people who are in different offices to be close to God and be simple. The latter used to tell me that, and I know one time I will leave, but by the time I leave, St Charles Lwanga College Koboko should be at a different place,\u201d Ms Asina said.<\/p>\n

The municipality mayor, Mr Wilson Sanya, asked education stakeholders to work hard to preserve Atiku\u2019s legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the legacies that he has left behind is the peaceful co-existence with sister schools. The next administration should be able to make sure this continues,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mr Tom Obeti Adraka, the head teacher of Koboko Town College, promised to keep the peace agreement between his school and St Charles Lwanga College.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith late Atiku, we managed to bring our students who had been at war for nearly six years to the negotiating table and sign a historic peace agreement on November 5, 2022, to begin a new journey of friendship,\u201d Mr Obeti said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something we had struggled to achieve and failed with two of his predecessors. So, I, therefore, feel abandoned because we had vowed to ensure and guarantee the sustainability of the peace between students of the two schools,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Task ahead<\/b><\/p>\n

The municipality education officer, Mr David Dimba Kenyi, said Atiku had left a huge gap for the district education stakeholders to fill.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting somebody with these values is not going to be easy for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The chairperson of the school\u2019s board of governors, the Rev Fr Peter Debo, described the deceased as a strategic and open-minded person.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe late did not do things at random. He planned his things and was an open-minded person. He did not push himself forward first and he had a spirit of sacrifice,\u201d the Rev Fr Debo said.<\/p>\n

Dr George Didi Bhoka, the Obongi County MP told mourners that the death had robbed the education department of a peaceful, loving and entertaining person.<\/p>\n

Atiku was buried in Abuku Sub-county in Koboko yesterday.<\/p>\n
