Dear respected.
Brothers and Sisters the Issue of religion should not be a bar to westenile
University. This issue of religion and other problems of I did this i foundede
that I....I.... plus the tribal line. clan, village and so on is one of the
worst disease destroying programmes. I remember Male destroying his own
kobokonet because of I,I, tribal and clan, village issue,So I only would like
us to work as a team to acknowledge the importance and the contributions of
others.

Subject: [WestNileNet] University of WestNile(UoW)
Hello all.I write in response to the contribution Tabu Butagira has posted most
recently.The piece is so good that I am utterly disappointed and amazed at
contributions that are still talking of whether we should embrace a Public
University in WestNile ( perhaps to be called University of WestNile-UoW) or
not.Unfortunately we are all entitled to our opinions.To me we should proceed
and the sceptics shall join in the "last bus".
Below I reproduce a contribution that I made to this forum last year about the
same and you can make your -compare and contrast.
Regards.
The latest I have heard from Arua ( by a source on this net) is that the
proposed University may initially start in the present Muni NTC.Despite the
reservations about the motive, success/ failure etc of the government in
establishing the UoW, I believe we should try to embrace the idea.
Nile University had problems from the onset with some West Nile districts(names
withheld) opposing its location in Arua.Remember too that religious sentiments
have been at play .Because some founder members were seen to be coming from a
certain religion-and ethnic group too- a section of the society felt reluctant
to co-own it.These and more reasons have left the university where it is now.
Perhaps it will be argued that if government put money in Nile University it
would by now be a giant.Yes and No.Yes for we know that without resources
nothing can almost move, and No for the reasons in par. 2 above.So now is it
time to stop the creation of the University and first lament at the failure of
government to provide other facilities we have been crying for or welcome it as
we continue to push.Gulu University was created at a time when the Acholi
wanted nothing but PEACE.For whatever reason it was created then, the benefits
are now clear for all to see-education, employment, investment, infrastructure
etc.
Again, are we sure that if we resist the creation of UoW then the money will be
diverted to improving roads, power, water etc in West Nile etc. I for one doubt.
On a lighter note and for selfish reasons, am praying the University is
established in Muni since I have 1/4 acre of land nearby which I could cash
on!!!!!.The rest of this debate can then be conducted on a platform at the
Faculty of Humanities, University of WestNile(UoW)-Muni.
The debate is back to your face.
