I thank the VC for having given me the opportunity to serve as the first, Manager of Communication & International Relations of Makerere University, the Great.

I want to thank the entire MAK staff for the support rendered to me for the time I have served as acting Manager.

I am so grateful to the members of the Press for the love and wisdom shared with me during that time.

The Students community have demonstrated great respect and maturity to their Institution and for that, I will always hold them in high regard.

The University Council, University Management, the Public and colleagues, thank you so much.

I thank the MUASA fraternity for the wonderful administrative training that made me suitable for the appointment.

I also thank the Government of Uganda for listening in whenever need arose.

I have enjoyed working with the International Community who always got excited with the wealth of International Languages that I speak.

Once again,

I thank the Vice Chancellor, Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe for the opportunity and support rendered to me during my time of service.

I am happy to note that I came into office at a time when my expertise was most needed. Now I am leaving when calmness and Normalcy is fully restored. (The General is back to the barracks)
