The event, which brings together student leaders from across East Africa, marks a major highlight in the region’s youth leadership calendar.

The news was shared by Sarah Kagingo, the CEO of Soft Power Communications, via her X account, where she expressed her honor at joining Uganda’s Vice President, Jessica Alupo, and fellow Guild Presidents in welcoming the former Kenyan head of state.

"Honoured to join H.E. the Vice President, Jessica Alupo, and fellow Guild Presidents in welcoming H.E. Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, Fourth President of the Republic of Kenya, to Makerere University for the guild leaders’ summit, where he will deliver a keynote to East African student leaders," Kigingo posted.

The summit is expected to focus on youth leadership, regional integration, and the role of young people in shaping East Africa’s future.

Kenyatta, who has remained an influential figure in African diplomacy since leaving office in 2022, is seen as a symbol of peaceful leadership transition and regional cooperation.

His presence at Makerere underscores the university’s historical role as a breeding ground for East African leadership.

Organizers say the summit will offer an opportunity for young leaders to engage with one of the region’s most experienced statesmen on issues ranging from governance to innovation.
