As Uganda observes Archbishop Janan Luwum Day on February 16th, the Uganda Institute of Information and Communications Technology (UICT) joins the nation in commemorating the life and legacy of this remarkable leader. Named after the revered Archbishop Janan Luwum, this day serves as a poignant reminder of the values of courage, resilience, and principled leadership.
Archbishop Janan Luwum was a prominent religious leader and a vocal advocate for justice and human rights during a tumultuous period in Uganda’s history. His unwavering commitment to truth and justice ultimately led to his tragic martyrdom on February 16, 1977. Despite facing immense pressure and persecution, Archbishop Luwum remained steadfast in his convictions, refusing to compromise on his principles.
At UICT, we draw inspiration from Archbishop Luwum’s courageous example as we strive to nurture a new generation of leaders in the field of Information and Communications Technology (ICT). We believe in instilling values of integrity, ethical leadership, and social responsibility in our students, equipping them to make meaningful contributions to society.
As we reflect on Archbishop Janan Luwum Day, we are reminded of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of adversity. Archbishop Luwum’s legacy serves as a beacon of hope and a reminder that individuals have the power to effect positive change, no matter how challenging the circumstances.
In commemoration of this significant day, UICT reaffirms its commitment to promoting ethical leadership, social justice, and human rights through education and innovation. We honour Archbishop Janan Luwum’s memory by continuing to uphold his values and principles in all aspects of our work.
Let us take this opportunity to honour the memory of Archbishop Janan Luwum and to recommit ourselves to the ideals of justice, peace, and unity that he stood for. Together, let us strive to build a brighter future for Uganda and all its people.
