This new vehicle is a testament to their hard work and impact. We certainly hope it serves as an inspiration for continued growth and achievement across all our faculties,” said Mr. David Mugawe, the DVC F&A.

During the handover ceremony, the VC, Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi, articulated the university’s long-standing desire to recognize entities that bring pride to UCU. He specifically commended the School of Law for its diligent efforts in enhancing UCU’s reputation nationally, regionally, and internationally.

The provision of this new van aims to streamline coordination and mobility even further. The VC emphasized that the “brand new vehicle” was a fitting acknowledgment of the “brand new services” delivered by the faculty.

The Dean of the School of Law, Dr. Peter Mutesasira, expressed profound gratitude to the VC and the university management for this generous gift, which originated from a casual request. He also extended his appreciation to the procurement office for its transparent processes in acquiring the vehicle.

“It is my joy to see a modern building and a modern van,” Dr. Mutesasira said, “We shall continue doing what we do best.”
