Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has pledged $100,000 (Sh10 million) towards the construction of Deputy President William Ruto’s Institute of African and Leadership Studies at the Makerere University.
Museveni made the announcement on Saturday during talks with Ruto at Mubende State Lodge.
Ruto went to Uganda to lay the foundation stone for the construction of the institute.
As reported by the Star, the William Ruto Leadership Institute’s goals will include developing innovative approaches to teaching and learning about Africa as well as enhancing intellectual and cultural life.
The institute will also contribute to the discussion and analysis of critical development challenges facing African societies.
Last December, Ruto was confered with a PhD in plant ecology from the University of Nairobi.
