Nakasero, Kampala — Victoria University Vice Chancellor Prof. Lawrence Muganga has lauded President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni for his remarkable mental clarity, composure, and leadership depth following a high-level meeting at Nakasero State Lodge.

In a reflection shared after the engagement held on January 6, 2026, Prof. Muganga described the encounter as deeply inspiring, noting that the President’s focus, attentiveness, and intellectual sharpness remain exceptional even at the age of 80.

“Listening to him engage, ask probing questions, and respond with clarity that reflects decades of disciplined reflection and an exceptional memory is truly impressive,” Prof. Muganga observed. He added that the President’s calm demeanor and quietly commanding empathy stood out, portraying a leader who listens deeply and reasons steadily on national issues.

According to Prof. Muganga, President Museveni’s consistency and thoughtful approach offer reassurance at a time when Uganda continues to navigate complex socio-economic challenges. He noted that one leaves such conversations reflecting on the source of the President’s enduring mental strength and sustained leadership capacity over many decades.

Beyond the personal admiration, the meeting also provided space for a forward-looking discussion on Uganda’s development trajectory, with Prof. Muganga emphasizing the central role of education in shaping the country’s future.

He underscored that Uganda’s next major leap will largely depend on transforming its education system to meet the demands of a modern, technology-driven world. Prof. Muganga urged the President to place renewed focus on reforms that equip young people not only with academic knowledge but also with practical skills that drive innovation, productivity, and national transformation.

“Under your visionary leadership, Uganda has a rare opportunity to reimagine education and make it the envy of Africa,” he said, calling for a system that nurtures creativity, technological competence, and enlightened thinking across all sectors.

Prof. Muganga concluded by noting that a strong commitment to education reform would cement a lasting legacy for President Museveni, one defined not by monuments, but by generations of empowered Ugandans capable of leading the nation into a prosperous future.

He expressed optimism that with sustained leadership and strategic focus on education, Uganda can emerge as a country driven by technology, innovation, and skilled human capital.
