Makerere Ivory Tower reopens with new chancellor

President Museveni on October 2 opened the Makerere University Main Building, which was reconstructed after it was burnt four years ago, with a major call to the university leadership to turn their focus on reforms in the social sciences studies.

Mr Museveni said the challenges that Uganda and Africa are faced with are due to the ancient social sciences taught in the education system.

“When you hear the crises in West Africa, war, what. Young people dying in the ocean is because of this gap in social science. Social sciences must move up and must catch up with history. Must go from social sciences of colonialism to social sciences of liberation,” President Museveni said at Makerere University.

Mr Museveni was accompanied by the First Lady, Ms Janet Museveni, who is also the Minister of Education and Sports.

The President told the university that the change in science and technology in society has a direct impact on the way people are governed and, therefore each student must be taught the new laws of social sciences.
