NKUMBA UNIVERSITY COMMENCEMENT SPEACH I had been invited by Prof Assimwe of NKUMBA UNIVERSITY for at least 3yrs for me to be a commencement speaker. This year, I allowed because he had pushed, to be honest I don’t like giving talks though am invited a lot. I had to fly in yesterday for the speech today and head out for work again and it’s very tough time business wise and financially, I need to work harder. It means I have to sacrifice time which is very limited, I have to think carefully about what I have to say, I have to think about how to dress. Infact today morning, I was struggling to look at what to dress on and I remembered to call Prof Assimmwe and he said, Wekesa we know you, come the way you like dressing. I said yes yes, to myself. But eh, when I arrived suits were suits but they seemed very comfortable with me, I took time to mentally settle in and ended up enjoying it. I wa impressed by some of the things the university was doing, they are creating things the market would buy but they haven’t brought to the market. Universities are a hub for talent across board but normally this talent isn’t marketed to the public.
