UCU Kampala Campus ends 18 years of wandering

When God says YES, nobody can say no! (2 Corinthians 1:20). This message from the Lord applies to Uganda Christian University’s (UCU) acquisition of its own home for the Kampala Campus despite the impact of Covid-19 that has ravaged the revenues of a number of Universities in Uganda. UCU acquired the sh2.5b ($705,417.6) half-acre piece of land recently and officially acquired it on June 1. UCU student, Ivor Sempa, captured some of the moments as UCU received the property.
