A total of 418 students have graduated with postgraduate diplomas, bachelor’s degrees, diplomas, and certificates in various disciplines at Ankole Western University (AWU).
The seventh graduation ceremony was held at the university’s grounds on Kabwohe Hill in Sheema Municipality, Sheema District.
The Bishop of the Diocese of West Ankole, Rt. Rev. Johnson Twinomujuni, who also serves as the university chancellor, praised Ainomugisha and his team for their remarkable achievements at the institution within a short time.
In his address, Twinomujuni congratulated the graduates on reaching this milestone and urged them to prioritize caring for their health, create strategic life plans, and, above all, fear and obey God.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Gen. Kahinda Otafiire, represented Vice President Jesca Alupo, who was the guest of honor. Otafiire commended the bishop for his impactful sermons and teachings, acknowledging their transformative influence on many lives.
He also encouraged clergy members to pursue further education and attain at least a bachelor’s degree to remain relevant and effectively influence society.
Otafiire appealed to Sheema Christians to maintain unity and exercise caution regarding the proposal to create a new diocese, Central Ankole Diocese (CAD), warning that it could lead to divisions among the people of Greater Bushenyi.
A section of Christians in Sheema District has initiated plans to establish the Central Ankole Diocese.
