Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU) welcomed a delegation from the International University of Africa (IUA) on August 1st, 2024, at the main campus in Mbale. 
The guests were received by the Academic Registrar, Dr. Halima Wakabi Akbar, at the office of the Rector.

This visit follows a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed between IUIU and IUA in 2017, which enables staff development programs and activities between the two intuitions. Currently, IUIU is hosting 320 students from various African countries at the main campus in Mbale, who are set to take their exams.

Dr. Halima acknowledged the contribution of IUA to education across Africa, briefed the guests on the progress of integrating the students, and assured them of high-quality outcomes.
