Uganda Christian University (UCU) recognized staff members for reaching a milestone of 10 years of service. The institution’s management also used the occasion to acknowledge outgoing deans and heads of departments.
The 42 awardees received plaques during the university’s end-of-year staff party held on December 17, 2021, in Nkoyoyo Hall at the main campus in Mukono.
Annually, UCU awards staff members who make a milestone of 10 years of service. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, this did not take place in 2020. The December 2021 event, therefore, combined staff who joined UCU in 2010 and 2011.
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi, used the event to announce the enhancement of staff benefits and contracts starting this year. The university had suspended long-term staff contracts in 2020 when the coronavirus hit the country.
Some of the staff members who were recognized for long service are:
From 2010-2020
- Florence Nakiyingi
- Richard Ssebagala
- Hope Ibale
- John Vianney Ahumuza
- Frankline Adeka
