MONDAY, APRIL 3, 2023 MARKS THREE YEARS SINCE AS AN ALUMNUS OF MAKERERE UNIVERSITY, I ORIGINATED A FUNDRAISING DRIVE TO SEE TO THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE MAIN BUILDING.

I have found it unbelievable that Makerere University have never bothered to communicate to me thanking me for having made the initiative out of which they must have realized good money.

There are things that surprise me in Uganda. This is one of them. I have had to appreciate the truth that the devil has had a big role in shaping some people in leadership positions in Uganda! It is sad.

I may never know what contribution my fundraising appeal brought in.

I however cannot fail to thank God for that calling.

Saturday, April 3, 2021 I worked on a Fundraising appeal for the Reconstruction of Makerere University Main Building. The appeal as below was circulated mostly to outside contacts:

SUPPORT THE RECONSTRUCTION OF MAKERERE UNIVERSITY MAIN BUILDING (IVORY TOWER).

In the early hours of September 20, 2020 many were shocked to read the messages from the social media platforms of Makerere University that the iconic building - the Main Building at the University as old as 79 years was on fire.

The challenge at hand is reconstructing this Iconic building.

Information about Makerere University and the Main Building can be accessed on the web address below:

PROFESSOR NAWANGWE THE VICE CHANCELLOR SAYS THAT, "THE UNIVERSITY WILL NEED UP TO USD 5,714,285.7 TO RESTORE THE MAIN BUILDING”.

Unveiling the official contribution channels for support towards the restoration of Iconic Main Administration Building the Vice Chancellor appealed to all well -wishers to make contributions through:
