Veteran Ugandan Broadcasting Journalist, Allan Kasujja has officially left the BBC after 13 years, closing a chapter that saw him amplify African voices on the global stage.
Kasujja, who joined the international broadcaster in 2012, became a key presenter on programs such as Africa Daily and Newsday, covering stories and issues often overlooked by mainstream media. His work has earned him recognition as a leading African voice in international journalism.
He announced his resignation in a post on X, formerly Twitter titled “Mission Accomplished” on Friday, August 15.
Reflecting on his career, Kasujja expressed gratitude to his colleagues, family, and friends for their support.
“I didn’t think I’d last this long. I was ready to leave in 2014. But I’m glad I stuck it,” he said.
Without indulging into his next career paths, Kasujja emphasized the importance of Africans owning their narrative.
“We must continue to weave Africa’s narrative. No one is coming to save us. No one cares as much as we do,” he said, hinting that his global network and experience will shape his future endeavors.
Kasujja’s exit marks the end of a transformative era for BBC audiences who have followed his in-depth reporting and commentary on African affairs for more than a decade.
“I’m grateful for the opportunity to have worked at the BBC. It’s been transformative.”
