Hullo dear brothers and sisters from West Nile, I am glad that the voice of this forum is growing very fast in identifying crucial issues to talk about, especially about having a University in the region. But allow me to thank all of you who supported me when I lost my son on 28th Jan. and may his soul rest in peace. He died from Masaka Hospital after two days from birth and under painful scenario, burial took place in Arua at Mvara on saturday. It is good to learn that a committee is being set up to spear head the University in WestNile, however i feel we are moving slowly. I know we have public institutions like NTC, Nurse Training school in Arua which could be converted into University and I am just wondering if we cant plan to convert these institutions into University - i.e. Arua Nurse training school into Medical School and NTC into Non Medical courses. The Issue for nor should be looking at how these arrangement can be done and identifying Lecturers and getting them involved right from the begining. I know many of our sons and daughters are Lecturing in different Universities in this country and they should be looked at as the potential implementers of the University foundation. It is crucial from now that this forum should identify a think tank group to draw a road map towards the opening of the university. Remember let us use the available political opportuinity (2011) from now and make a geniune noice about opening this University so Cliff Asher Aliga Theatre Coordinator International Hospital Kampala-Uganda Assistant Visiting Lecturer - (IHSU)- International Health Sciences University Tel.+256772647341 or +256701647341 or +256712037444 Email: aligaclif...@yahoo.co. or cliffas...@img.co.ug cal...@ihsu.co.ug

The point of whether we should or not have a University is a non- Starter. Be it private or Public, with or without adequate basic infrastructure that has been argued by a cross section to be in place first, we should support whoever is ready to commit either private or public funds to bring such an institution closer to our people. Two questions for Vasco: 1-Until when should I wait for the basic infrastructure you have well argued to be in place for my children to get university education in West Nile? 2-Supposing I mobilize private investors here in the Middle East where live, would you support me in establishing a private University, for arguments seek their interest is only to invest in higher education and why? Thank you.
