Dear Alaka, Thank you for bringing up this and doing the extra work of asking the questions. If WNF can partake in the fast tracking of the establishment of this university, then WNF would have made a difference in the lives of the people of West Nile. In my opinion WNF should partake and can do so as a civil society organization. I do't have a name to suggest now, will certainly do so in the a few days to come.
Thank you, banduga Ismail ---------------------------------- ________________________________ From: Caleb Alaka <calebal...@yahoo.com> To: A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile <westnilenet@kym.net> Sent: Tue, 2 February, 2010 14:10:45 Subject: [WestNileNet] A Public University in West Nile Dear Colleagues, Last Week on Thursday, I had a meeting with Hon. Jachan Omach. Minister of state for Finance (General duties). This meeting was as a result of an earlier meeting I had with the PPS to H.E the President. I had gone to see the PPS to fix an appointment for Asiku Jackson to see the President. But since I had known the PPS during the times we negotiated peace in West Nile and Juba. I reluctantly asked her about the University. She referred me to Hon. Jachan. In our meeting Jachan was grateful to learn about the West Nile Foundation. He told me that there are over 150 pledges the President made for the people of West Nile which needs to be followed. He further informed me that a National task force for the University headed by Professor Christine Dranzua (From MUK), had been formed. that we had lost six months. that other members of the task force were Rev. Father Epifani Odubiki the Principle of Lodonga TTC, Professor Tikodri the Deputy Vice Chancellor MUK and some one from Gulu University. The Ministry of Finance has released 200 Million UgShs and another 700 Million Shs is going to be released to the task force . Colleagues, These guys on the National task force are busy people. I was in MUST over the weekend and discussed the issue with our colleagues in MUST and we thought we can come up with our own committee especially the members of the academia from West Nile to assist the National task force. If this is acceptable to us, we can suggest names and I will handle the matter with Hon. Jachan Omach who is also from West Nile. This way, we can fast track the establishment of the University.
