The Abu Mayanja Memorial Lecture

The overall aim of the Foundation is to continue the tremendous work of the Late Abu Mayanja in the political and socio-economic development of Uganda.

In pursuit of this objective, we adopted the idea of holding the Abu Mayanja memorial lectures. The inaugural lecture was delivered in July 2007 by Professor Ali Mazrui on the development of democratic rule in Uganda; whilst Hon Justice Julia Sebutinde of the International Criminal Court (ICC) critically reviewed Uganda�s real options regarding the indictments of leaders of the Lords Resistance Army by the ICC in 2008.

The IUIU Abu Mayanja Scholarship

The objective of the Islamic University in Uganda is to produce morally upright graduates with international recognition, who cherish the core values of Islam. In collaboration with the Abu Mayanja Foundation, the University instituted a scholarship award to honor the memory of the Late Al Hajji Abu Mayanja, who also served as the University Rector at inception.

This program was instituted in 2007 and currently presents 1 scholarship annually.
