“I want to thank NCHE especially since the new Executive Director Prof Mary J.N Okwakol for doing a very good difference in getting our programmes accredited.” Basajjabalaba said

He added; “I urge you (NCHE) to consider ranking universities per programmes of studies such as medicine, agriculture, engineering, law, arts etcetera by evaluating their performances based on categories like products, facilities and starting. This will help institutions to improve on performances than saying this university is good and this is bad.”

“This is the first time I am visiting this university although I have been in close contacts contacts to the promoters and some members of management of this university. But, I must confess that I had not how great KIU is until I listened to the Vice Chancellor speech. I have just learnt alot this morning.” Prof Mondo said in his opening remarks

Prof. Mondo Kagonyera addressing the congregation at KIU 25th Graduation Ceremony on Saturday 11th June, 2022.

“I take note and happily saw that KIU is one of the few universities that stood on the COVID-19 challenges. You have been conducting distance learning and held three virtual gradations. This indeed is a sign of a leafing university because you have improved your worth and demonstrated that even in times of lockdowns you could work hard to ensure continuity of the university activities.”

He appealed to other universities to benchmark on KIU and take lessons good for them.

In his speech, Prof Mondo congratulated tje graduands on their academic achievements stating that they use the knowledge acquired at the university for career development

“Today, KIU releases yet another batch of graduates to the world of work in the most beautiful tough times given the economic hardships resulting from the lockdown. We are optimistic that what they have acquired at KIU will be the straight board of success in their various job careers,” he said

He also appealed to them to have the value of knowledge if they are to ably fit in this highly demanding world of work

Where as most people focus on skills and competences, Prof Mondo argues; its important to understand the value of knowledge because it is the unlock of all human problems.

“Knowledge brings wisdom and understanding. Therefore, I appeal to you to live a life driven by the values of knowledge. Seek it as much as you can and determine how to apply it for your own good, the good of your community and the global society at large,” Prof Mondo Kagonyera urged

Graduates have also been urged to be extra careful not to misuse modern technologies as it may cause negative repercussionson their lives.

“Alot has come to surface in this era of disruptive technologies, thus you must be careful not to misuse the knowledge you acquired for there will be consequences for that misuse.” Prof Mondo warned

Additionally, the professor has asked graduands to preserve moral integrity in the society they are going to serve.

“I want to emphasize on the aspects of hinesty and trust – ethical values. No amount of acquired knowledge is going to be employed if you don’t have these values.”

Profess Mondo has decried corruption evils that are eating up the country imploring graduates to practice patience, honesty and trust in order to end corruption in the society.

“Our business work and study elements are polluted with dishonesty, lack of trust and worse still, corruption. You are to guard against all these vices. You must stand out as strong pillars and champions of society and be good role models to others”, the profesdor urged

To the KIU management, Prof Mondo Kagonyera has appealed to the university to invest in research and innovations, build knowledge hubs if they are to make KIU a leading research and innovation university.

“I call upon the Vice Chancellor and his management team to build knowledge hubs in each academic school, colleges and faculties to ensure that students have access to rwsources to acquire knowledge.  This requires investment in research and facilities.”
