Former Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete arrived in Uganda on Sunday to participate in the prestigious Guild Leaders Summit at Makerere University.

The summit, which is on today, brings together both former and current Guild Presidents, speakers, and other student leaders from various universities and tertiary institutions across the country.

Organized by the Guild Presidents Leadership Academy, the event aims to foster leadership skills and encourage dialogue among student leaders. Kikwete, known for his advocacy on educational and leadership development during his presidency, is scheduled to deliver a keynote address focusing on the challenges and opportunities in student leadership today.

The Guild Leaders Summit serves as a platform for student leaders to share experiences, discuss policy issues, and explore effective leadership strategies. The presence of a distinguished leader like Kikwete is expected to inspire attendees and elevate the discussions on how student leaders can contribute positively to their communities and the broader educational sector.

Attendees of the summit are looking forward to gaining insights from Kikwete’s extensive experience in governance and public service, as well as his commitment to youth empowerment and education across Africa.
