So, please you are in a safe place,” the Vice Chancellor Prof. Badru Kateregga Ssalongo Prior said while receiving Kagonyera.
Kampala University Council Chairman, Prof. Abid Sayed, also welcomed Kagonyera into the Capital’s chartered University. “We thank you, Mr. Chancellor, Sir, for accepting to work with us because not everybody understands this task.
