The good news coming in from our sources at State House indicates that HE.Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has approved a Charter for Victoria University that will see the institution awarding degrees from Bachelors, Masters, Doctorates and Honorary Degrees.
The good news has been confirmed by the National Council of Higher Education (NCHE) in a letter addressed to the University’s Vice Chancellor Prof.Lawrence Muganga inviting him for official handover of the Charter slated for this Friday 19th at 11am.
The letter inked by NCHE Executive Director Prof.Mary J.N.Okwakol dated 16th August 2022 states that President Museveni signed the Charter for Victoria University on 31st July 2022.
”H.E the President of the Republic of Uganda signed the Charter for Victoria University on 31st July 2022. On behalf of National Council for Higher Education and on my own behalf, I congratulate Victoria University upon this achievement.
”The purpose of this letter is to invite you and your team to an official handover of the Charter at a ceremony scheduled to take place on Friday 19th August 2022 at the NCHE Secretariat at 11:00am,” Prof.Okwakol’s letter to Prof.Muganga partially states.
NCHE granted Victoria University a Charter earlier this year but this could not take effect before gazettement and final approval by the President.
Victoria University has continued to revolutionize Uganda’s education sector amidst all hardships brought by COVID-19 that saw thousands of Universities globally shutting down.
