Message of Appreciation and Guidance to BUSSSA Leadership and International Associations
I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the leadership of the Bugema University South Sudan and Sudan Students Association, under the stewardship of Chairperson Dingding Puoch, for your dedication, resilience, and unwavering commitment to our community.
My gratitude also goes to all our international associations across
BU Kenya, BU Somalia, BU Burundi, BU South Africa, and BU Rwanda.
Together, we have fought a good fight. Securing 609 votes was not an easy task, and it reflects the strength, unity, and determination of our people across borders.
To all our MPs who made it to the Parliament, I urge you to remain vigilant. This is the season of amendments, and whatever decisions you make will either protect the next generation of international students or weaken their future. Lead with integrity, courage, and a clear understanding that your actions today shape the path for those who will come after us.
We acknowledge that leaders are chosen by God. However, the malpractices witnessed during the election have shaken the confidence of many students in the process. Even so, we remain committed to peace, unity, and progress.
Hard luck to Team Opande, and congratulations to Team Fessto for your victory.
To my brother, H.E. Fessto, the responsibility now rests on your shoulders. Your first duty is to unite the students. There is mistrust between some students and the administration, and from this moment forward, your leadership must rise above that gap. Do not depend solely on the administration your agenda has already been passed and is ready. Now is the time to build trust, restore confidence, and serve all students without fear or favor.
