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.
