O Ye Mighty Siniya!

We have had detractors of our causes from time to time, aiming to destroy the seed of hope from which the Siniya Alumni Forum began. Yet, with his great wit, generosity and love for #TheOnlySiniya, Prof. Emmanuel Mutebile often steered us to the shelter of safety.

James Akabwai presided over a very successful period (1994-1998) in the History of Siniya. I was lucky to belong to what he called his true cohort, those he started with from S1 – S4 and when the O Level results were returned, we had scoped position No. 37 in the Country rankings. This history is his and will never be erased.
