The Acholi Students Union held a leadership forum at Gulu University, rallying young people to embrace ethical leadership, accountability, and social transformation.
Held under the theme “A Path to Ethical Leadership,” the event convened university students, government officials, and academic leaders, fostering conversations around responsible leadership, youth empowerment, and inclusive development.
The Deputy Inspector General of Government, Dr. Patricia Achan Okiria, served as the chief guest. She encouraged students to lead with empathy, trust, and integrity.
“Your actions today will contribute to shaping the leaders of tomorrow,” said Dr. Achan, who also serves as the Patron of the Acholi Students Union. She urged students to remain humble, pursue continuous learning, and build meaningful relationships as they prepare to take up leadership roles in Uganda’s future.
The forum created space for students to engage in open dialogue on national issues and reflect on their responsibilities as emerging leaders. Dr. Achan emphasized that good leadership must be grounded in ethics, transparency, and community-centered thinking.
The event is part of broader efforts by the Acholi Students Union to build a generation of responsible youth who are ready to influence positive change in northern Uganda and across the country.
