LIVE UPDATES: The 3rd I.K Musazi Memorial Lecture, From the Ivory Tower to the people: A challenge to Uganda’s intelligentsia today

The 3^rd I.K Musazi Memorial Lecture is here again, richer and better. Purposed to influence mindset change by emulating the works of a true statesman, the lecture this year has been prepared to speak to all the intelligentsia in Uganda.

A clear force to reckon with, I.K Musazi remains one of the most valiant citizen Uganda has seen in history. I.K Musazi wore several hats from being a husband, father, teacher, seminarian and a cooperator.

As true intelligentsia, he set the pace from which we will revise today and hopeful go back to the drawing board.

With his actions, I.K Musazi proved to us that it is possible to be at the prime of your corporate ladder and still work with the community.

The Lecture is taking place now at Makerere University Main Hall from 2:00p.m-5:00p.m. The general public is invited to attend the lecture that we hope will reignite our concern for the community.
