“We are fully aware that the challenges of living and working in the 21st Century knowledge-driven society require that we prepare our students to have capacity to be creative and innovative. Science and technology are the key drivers of the modern society,” Dr Ssengendo said.

Dr Ssengendo announced that Dr Abdulaziz Al-Sebail from Saudi Arabia is the new chairperson of the university council, replacing Dr Abdallah Omar Naseef, who is retiring.
