In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when uncertainty gripped the nation and many students (both national and international) found themselves stranded, the 31st National Executive Council of the Uganda National Students Association (UNSA-NEC) rose to the occasion. I was honored to be part of the delegation that engaged national leaders to advocate for the welfare of students during these trying times.
We held a highly productive meeting with the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister, Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda, and Hon. Mary Karooro Okurut, then Minister in Charge of General Duties in the Office of the Prime Minister. Our discussions focused on the dire situation faced by thousands of students who had been left without access to basic necessities due to the nationwide lockdown.
Through our collective efforts, we were able to secure relief food and essential items for stranded students across the country. This was not just a policy achievement, it was a lifeline to many who had nowhere else to turn.
In 2020, I was deeply honored to represent the 31st Uganda National Students’ Association (UNSA) National Executive Council as Chief Guest at a student-led environmental tree planting initiative in Kiboga–Hoima District. This inspiring project brought together determined young people committed to fighting climate change and promoting sustainable living across Uganda.

His leadership marked a turning point in how student leaders could take action against a deep-rooted challenge in higher education institutions.
