He was a distinguished public servant, an astute economist, a visionary central banker, but to Makerere University he was first and foremost one of our own, a proud son of this institution, who never forgot where his journey began. Professor Mutebile walked these very grounds as a student, and it was here that he honed the leadership qualities that would define his remarkable career as a student leader." ~ Prof. @SsaliSarah #MutebileLecture2025
