President Yoweri Museveni has Wednesday afternoon eulogized fallen ex-premier, Prof. Apollo Nsibambi. Speaking at the home of the deceased at Rubaga, the president said he first met Nsibambi after 16 years of war.

“We spent 16 years in war and when we came back, that’s when I had the chance to properly meet Apolo Nsibambi,” he said adding that Nsibambi created three blocks to Uganda.

“I want to thank Nsibambi, he added 3 blocks to our country; – Together with other professors, he streamlined salary issues at Makerere University – He culturally bonded Buganda and those of us who were from war – He bridged the gap between war veterans and academia,” he said.

“I recently spoke with Prof. Nsibambi but when God calls anyone, there is nothing we can do. May his soul rest in peace,” he added, “God created death but the point of life is that while here, what are you doing with it? Professor Nsibambi contributed to Uganda’s development. May the almighty God rest his soul in peace.”
