LAY CANON GODFREY NJAGALA, WE SHALL GREATLY MISS YOU

Lay Canon Godfrey Njagala is a former student of Namutamba Teahers’ College as a Grade II teacher. He started off his teaching career at Namutamba Demonstration School. He is a model of those people who have devoted their lives to see greater heights. This he has been able to achieve by going for higher studies to the extent that he currently holds a Masters degree which qualified him to lecture at Makerere University. He is a Radio Person today, and uses the radio to further the word of God. He earned the title of Canon given his abilities in preaching the word of God. As a Head teacher at Makerere High, he was behind the innovation of grown ups going for further education at the level of Ordinary and Advanced Certificate of Education. He is good at guidance of students and Christians. We thank him for promoting Namutamba beyond Namutamba. 

REST IN PEACE MY FORMER MATHEMATICS TEACHER CANON GODFREY NJAGALA.

I called on the home of Canon Godfrey Njagala at Komamboga on March 11, 2019. I was told that the Canon led the early morning prayer. He said, “God, help me regain my strength”.

Unfortunately, God’s plan has been different. He instead called him around midday, Saturday, March 30, 2019.

Canon Njagala while a primary teacher at Namutamba Demonstration School from the late 1960’s (1969 onwards) inspired us so much. He among other things trained us very well in Mathematics.

We thank God that he was able to do his first degree at Makerere University in the 1980’s.

He has taught so many. He was Head Teacher at Makerere High and has had a number if roles in academic institutions.

We thank God that he got saved and eventually earned the title of Canon under Church of Uganda. He has done mission work on Radio more so Star FM.

Canon Godfrey Njagala, you have left us the challenge as an educator, a hardworking man, and a missionary.

May the good Lord reward you abundantly.

LAY CANON GODFREY NJAGALA AT MAKERERE HIGH SCHOOL

Canon Godfrey Njagala a former head teacher of Makerere High school strongly believed in discipline as the only sure way through which students could excel in their academics and so he became so tight on matters of discipline considering the fact that the school was located right at the city Centre in Wandegeya.

In fact it was through his tight hands on discipline that the school always posted very excellent results whenever they sat for Uganda advanced certifi cate of education. This excellent performance has been maintained in both Arts and sciences in both O’ and A’ level. In 2017 for example, 56% of the students who sat S.4 scored Division one and 44% got division two while in A ’level 80% got at least two principal passes while 20% got one principal pass.

The success of the school during his time was tremendous. He groomed students strongly with discipline and Christian virtues through a very strong scripture union program.

When Makerere high school merged with Migadde College it became a much bigger job because it was on a big piece of land, better infrastructure and it was a boarding school, the merger was only inevitable because Kampala then had become less common for schools. Uganda’s political environment then was very good and vibrant leading to the most profound years of the school, Mzee Kisubika adds.
