Meanwhile, the appointment makes Jonathan the third chancellor of the university, after Benjamin Mkapa, the late President of the United Republic of Tanzania, who was the second Chancellor, and the late Dr. Kenneth Kaunda, former President of the Republic of Zambia, who was the pioneer Chancellor.

Jonathan is expected to be installed on August 26, 2021, to preside over the conferment of degrees and award of diplomas and certificates at the University’s 10th Graduation Ceremony, which will take place at Munyonyo Commonwealth Resort on the same date.
