The High Court has ordered National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) to grant a provisional licence to UNICAF university, a decision that has left the regulatory body in uncomfortable position, arguing that the technical requirements they raised have not been addressed.
Documents Daily Monitor has seen indicate that the NCHE executive director, Prof Mary Okwakol, informed UNICAF management on August 13 last year that they had failed to meet the minimum standards required to be given a provisional licence to start a university, and would have to wait another two years for a review.
The council cited UNICAF failure to prove ownership of the premises intended to house the university, lack of Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) approval to make alterations to the premises and inappropriate library space.
