MUKONO: Namilyango college continues striving to remain among the top most influential educational institutions in the country as highlighted in its recent development agenda as enshrined in their 10-year strategic masterplan

As a result, parents have appreciated the noble work being done by the college leadership led by their chief executive officer [CEO] Mpuuga Constantine Sajjabbi with the team leading into an outright extension of the term of office for their PTA executive committee for three more years after posting good performance results.

The comments came to light over the weekend during their annual general meeting [AGM] held at the college in Seeta Mukono district where over 2,000 parents attended in person which is an indication of love for their college.

The parents having received key performance reports later adopted them with a majority unanimously appreciating the work done especially the achievements scored in the areas of infrastructure development, improved students and staff welfare and academic performance among others.

The executive committee members include Dr. Betty Nanzigu Mwesigwa as vice chairperson, Ronald Ssonko treasurer and Oluk Christopher teacher’s representative.

Other committee members include Saul Abok, Maria Mubeezi Kalula, Dr. Fred Kasiisa and Teddy Jabweli among others who collectively thanked the parents for the trust saying they would work hard to achieve the set targets under their 10-year strategic plan.

He commended the parents for the support rendered to them which enabled them work as a solid team to push the college development agenda forward.

The college headmaster Mpuuga Constantine Sajjabbi in his report said they had taken a decision to ban kaveera from the college effective next academic calendar year of 2026 as a deliberate strategy of protecting the environment and promoting the use of electronic paper.

Mpuuga disclosed that the college executive committee took a deliberate decision to ban Kaveera effective 2026 academic calendar year because they have continued to maintain the 30 acres of land of which 17 acres is hosting a planted forest cover therefore all should comply when implementation of the ban takes effect because kaveera was responsible for the degradation and pollution of the environment.

‘The college is going to be a No -kaveera territory effective 2026 and we expect all stakeholders to support this decision for the common good of all’ noted Mpuuga adding they would be embracing the paperless environment as a deliberate strategy of preserving and protecting the greenery at the college which is currently forested.
