Uganda Christian University’s basketball teams marked the start of the second round with wins; both the UCU Canons and UCU Lady Canons secured wins in their National Basketball League games at YMCA Wandegeya courts on Saturday, May 31.

From the outset of his papacy, Pope Francis has championed a radical approach to environmentalism, urging global leaders to recognize their moral responsibility towards creation. His encyclical, “Laudato Si”: On Care for Our Common Home, serves as a clarion call to all humankind. In it, he emphasizes the interconnectedness of life and the detrimental impact of human activity on the environment. He presents a compelling argument that caring for our planet is not merely a political or scientific issue but a deeply spiritual one. 

The first quarter ended evenly at 16–16, with both sides testing each other in a balanced opening. UCU began to pull away in the second, outscoring the Oilers 18–13 to take a five-point lead into the half.

Uganda Christian University (UCU) has officially named one of its major buildings at the Kampala Campus after former Vice Chancellor, Rev. Canon Dr. John Senyonyi, in recognition of his leadership and contribution to the growth of the institution.

The Canons battled hard in the second, with Ibanda Lwabaga and Dushime leading the charge, but the Blazers’ composure kept them ahead, maintaining a six-point cushion at halftime.

The win is a motivation for everyone on the team, a push that creates more confidence for the ladies to believe they can competitively face any team. Before we played KCCA, they were unbeaten too, so this was a determinant win—especially against such an opponent,” she added.
