Dear Colleagues While in Arua early this week I visited the West Nile University offices (at the foot of Arua Hill) for an update. Yes, the core team has been working on the most critical aspects within the prevailing resource and other constraints. Some key achievements to date are as follows: 1. The main administrative personnel have been recruited and are now on duty. In addition furniture, computers for the main office, and 3 vehicles have been procured. 2. Development of 4 academic programmes has been completed, pending approval by the NCHE. 3. Survey and documentation of the land secured in various locations (Muni, Madi Okollo, Bidi Bidi, etc) is progressing. 4. The ToR for the Masterplan for Muni campus has completed, to be taken further when the required funding is secured. In the mean time work has proceeded on design of one faculty to be constructed at Muni, and incorporated within the masterplan.
It is planned to have the first student intake for the academic year 2012/13. The target is to start the academic programmes at the Muni campus, with linkages to appropriate institutions (e.g. Arua Hospital) as required. Let us please continue to support the efforts of the team in any way possible.
