Trailblazing academic and scholar

Norbert Mao, the Minister for Justice and Constitutional Affairs, described Prof Ntambirweki as a trailblazing academic and scholar who founded Uganda Pentecostal University. Mao tweeted his condolences to the widow and the entire family, adding to the outpouring of grief and sympathy expressed by many who knew Prof Ntambirweki.

A legacy of founding Uganda Pentecostal University

Prof Ntambirweki founded Uganda Pentecostal University in 2001 as the Grotius School of Law and Professional Studies. In 2005, the National Council for Higher Education licensed the Grotius School of Law, which was subsequently renamed Uganda Pentecostal University.

Final Thoughts

The passing of Prof John Ntambirweki has left a void in the academic and legal communities of Uganda and beyond. His contributions to legal education and access to education for marginalized communities will be deeply missed, as will his leadership and vision for Uganda Pentecostal University.
