Incumbent President Jackson Sonko, who assumed office in 2020, fervently urged all Alumni to actively participate in the electoral process, emphasizing the importance of their collective involvement in the transformation of Nkumba University.

Sonko, seeking a second term, outlined plans for a groundbreaking innovation center, earmarking 2 billion shillings for the construction of a four-story innovation hub.

“We are committed to building a national and international Alumni Network to promote the name and values of Nkumba University. Our strategic goals include equipping students with career knowledge and skills that they need to thrive in the changing job market, and this time around, we plan to construct a 4-floor innovation hub to promote creativity and innovation among students.” Said Sonko


Adding that,” I encourage all alumni members to attend the AGM and take a keen interest in filling up these positions. Let’s work together to transform Nkumba University and make it a better place for future generations.”

The AGM is the biggest Alumni convocation commitment to fostering a cohesive and impactful relationship among its members and the community it serves.
