The meeting followed Uhuru’s keynote address at the second annual Guild Leaders’ Summit 2025 held at Makerere University in Kampala.
In an update, Museveni welcomed the initiative and acknowledged the growing political consciousness among student leaders.
“Former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta paid me a courtesy call at State House, Entebbe this evening. He was here for the Guild Leaders’ Summit at Makerere University.
“I was pleased to hear that these students are keen on what the NRM has been preaching: the four principles of patriotism, pan-africanism, socio-economic transformation, and democracy, and how they are crucial for their prosperity. I welcome this initiative and will meet with the Guild Leadership Academy to discuss it further,” he said.
Earlier in the day, Uhuru had addressed a packed auditorium at Makerere University, where he delivered a passionate keynote speech urging Africa’s youth to rise to the occasion and take charge of the continent’s destiny.

Reflecting on shifting global dynamics, the former president noted that developed nations are increasingly turning inward, effectively pushing Africa to define its own future.
“No one is coming to save us, and as the world turns increasingly inward, the places to seek refuge are rapidly disappearing,” he remarked.
In a call for unity and innovation, Uhuru emphasized the need to boost intra-African trade, which he noted currently accounts for less than 2.5% of global commerce.
He called for the elimination of obstacles to free movement and trade across the continent, urging young leaders to take the lead in this transformation.
“History has often been written by the powerful, but the future will be shaped by the principled,” he added.
Uhuru reminded the students that universities are not just centers of learning but also ‘incubators of change,’ and that student leaders are the trustees of tomorrow’s Africa.
