After sharing corridors at Makerere University in late 1970s, the two great academicians had a great time at Islamic University where Professor Gyagenda was serving as Vice Rector for Academic Affairs before appointed to the institution’s top office by the University Council during a meeting held at Hotel Africana in Kampala last week.

The two have had a mutual working relationship dating back from Makerere University where Professor Gyagenda handed over the Chairmanship of Makerere University Muslim Students Association (MUMSA) to Dr Sengendo in early 1980s and according to Dr Sengendo, he improved the status quo of the association than how it was during Professor Gyagenda’s tenure in office from 1980 to 1982.

The mutual working relationship of the two need no statistical tabulations for it to be proven productive because when they were in their respective offices alongside the Vice Rector for Finance and Administration Professor Abdul Kaziba Mpaata and not forgetting the academic and non-academic staff of the Islamic University in Uganda, the institution has managed to win a number of academic awards in Uganda, East Africa and Africa. The tremendous achievements of the Islamic University could have hit snag without enthusiasm, determination and focus of the gallant students of the institution.

In his farewell speech, yesterday, at IUIU playgrounds, Dr Sengendo challenged Professor Gyagenda to improve the standards of Islamic University in Uganda as how he managed to improve the standards of Makerere University Muslim Students Association when he took over the chairmanship from him.

“When I took over the leadership of Makerere University Muslim Students Association, I worked diligently to improve the association and I am very sure that as you are taking over the leadership of the Islamic University in Uganda, you will follow suit,” Dr Sengendo said.

In his maiden speech during the function, the new IUIU Rector Professor Gyagenda said it is impossible to survive in the ocean of tremendous success fulfilled by Dr Sengendo starting when he was just 29 years old to date at the Islamic institution.

“Dr Sengendo Ahmad, I was your boss back at MUMSA; you have been my boss here at IUIU. You keep following me or it is the other way round!! Of course, as I said on Tuesday, after your missionary and dedicated service at IUIU for 33 years, only a fool would trying filling your shoes. And I think I am not a fool! So instead, I will try to make my own footprint, assisted by Team A of Professor Abdul Kaziba Mpaata, Vice Rector, Finance and Administration; Dr Jamir Serwanga, our new Vice Rector, Academic Affairs,” Professor Gyagenda said.

It is everyone’s hope including the new OIC Assistant General for Economic Affairs that Professor Gyagenda will perform.

Professor Gyagenda is a well-known academician in Uganda and across the world. He attended Kabwohe Muslim Primary School , Mbarara High School for his O Levels, and St Mary’s Kisubi for his A levels.

Professor Gyagenda graduated from Makerere University in 1979 with a First Class Bachelor of Arts Honors (Literature and Religious Studies) , and a concurrent Diploma in Education.

In 1987, Professor Gyagenda graduated from Yarmouk University, Jordan with Master with Education in Teaching English as a foreign language. In the same year, Professor Gyagenda was part of the pioneer staff who started IUIU in Mbale where he was one of the male wardens and lecturer.

From 1988-2016, Professor Gyagenda was in the United States of America where he obtained an Master of Arts in Educational Administration and Supervision from the University of District of Columbia, Washington DC, in 1989. In 1999, the new IUIU Rector for the next five years obtained his PhD in Educational Studies from Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia.

Professor Gyagenda then joined and taught in the Graduate Teacher Program, Mercer University, Atlanta Campus from 2001 until 2016, when he came back to IUIU as Vice Rector for Academic Affairs.

Professor Gyagenda’s research interests include culture and schooling, philosophy and integration of knowledge, Muslim institute of higher education, and contemporary issues in education.

Last week, the Islamic University in Uganda has graduated seven Malawian Muslim students who were pursuing various programs such as Bachelor or Laws, Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Bachelor of Science in Statistics, Bachelor of Science in Food Science and Nutrition, Bachelor or Procurement and Logistics Management and Bachelor of Development Studies.
