The National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) has allowed Great Lakes Regional University in Kanungu district to reopen.
The university was closed last month following a row between Bishop Dr Hamlet Mbabazi Kabushenga, the Founder and Chancellor of the university against the administrators led by the director, Honest Wilkins Natukwasa.
Recently, the warring parties organized parallel graduations for the same students drawing the attention of the NCHE, which ordered the closure of the university for one month.
In a letter dated December 16th, signed by Rev. Canon Dr Kagume, the NCHE Deputy Executive Director, and addressed to the office of the University Vice-Chancellor, the university has been allowed to open with immediate effect.
The directive follows a meeting held on Tuesday between the university administration and NCHE.
Saul Waigolo, the NCHE Public Relations Officer confirmed that the university has been allowed to resume operations but investigations into issues of non-compliance are still ongoing.
The letter from NCHE however directs the management of the university to fulfill 20 requirements and submit them to NCHE before January 15th, 2022.
Among the requirements include names of members of the Board of Trustees and instruments of appointment, names of governing council members and names of management teams and minutes of the university organs.
