PAN AFRICAN MOVEMENT (PAM) RWANDA CHAPTER, LAUNCHES LEADERSHIP PROGRAM SHORT COURSE FOR UNIVERSITY STUDENTS AT ULK

The Pan African Movement (PAM) Rwanda Chapter kicked off its 2^nd Leadership Program cohort at Kigali Independent University-ULK on 4th May. This short course program aims to train PAM members, especially students from higher learning institutions, who will facilitate in training and sensitizing others the mission and vision of PAM.

In his remarks during the launch, Vice-Chairperson of PAM-Rwanda, Mr. Twagirimana Epimaque, shared that these lessons will focus on fostering the desired Africanism spirit that overcomes colonialism to shape competent African leaders like those who fought for Africa’s independence. 

“We want to develop capable future African leaders who not only fight for a better African tomorrow, but who also know African values, what Africa needs, and most importantly fight for African unity. There are common understandings and decisions agreed on by African Union member countries which have not yet been implemented. We believe that through Pan Africanism, we have a role to play and bring a change for good.” Mr. Twagirimana added.

The Chairperson of the ULK PAM Chapter and ULK Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Nkundabatware Innocent, shared in his remarks “we are building Africa to become independent in thinking, capacity, and self-reliance. These lessons offered to our students and interested members from other higher learning institutions are a great pillar in building a fully independent African continent.”

The program trainers will include the Chairperson of Rwanda Elders Advisory Forum, Mr. Tito Rutaremara, and the Chairperson of PAM-Rwanda, Mr. Musoni Protais, among others, and will run on weekends at Kigali Independent University ULK.
