Uganda Pentecostal University Vice Chancellor Dead
Prof John Ntambirweki, the vice chancellor and founder of Uganda Pentecostal University in Fort Portal, western Uganda, has died. Ntambirweki died on Wednesday at Kampala’s Le Memorial Hospital.
He’s been sick for a long time, and he even missed the university’s graduation ceremony last month, when a new chancellor was inaugurated. He established Uganda Pentecostal University as the Grotius School of Law and Professional Studies in 2001 and has served as vice chancellor ever since.
The Grotius School of Law was renamed Uganda Pentecostal University after being approved by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) in 2005.
Ntambirweki is a former senior professor at Makerere University and the former head of the law department at Uganda Christian University. In addition, he has worked as a consultant with Ntambirweki Kandeebe and Company Advocates.
As a worldwide legal researcher, he has provided legal counsel to government agencies in several African nations as well as international organizations.
He was also the chairman of the Advocates Coalition for Development and Environment (ACODE) board of trustees.
