In this captivating follow up episode, we dive deeper into the life and legacy of Honourable Professor Morris Ogenga Latigo a leader whose resilience and compassion have profoundly impacted Ugandan politics and education. Prof. Latigo invites us to journey through his life, from growing up in Agago with his close-knit family to his rise in academia, where he inspired and supported young scholars on their paths.
As he reflects on advocating for Northern Uganda during challenging times, building critical infrastructure, and standing for truth amidst opposition, Prof. Latigo offers wisdom on leadership: “What marked your time?” and “You cannot force a person to change by demonizing them.” He shares the weight of choices in leadership: “We have chaos and choice both in our hands.” Through metaphors like “weighing sugar in the dark” and “lessons from the flat-topped acacia, pine trees, and equatorial forest,” he reminds us of nature’s guidance and possibilities.
Now retired and turning to agriculture, Prof. Latigo continues to sow seeds of progress. His message to today’s leaders is clear: embrace mentorship, openness, and change, for “true leadership lies in the legacy we leave behind.”
Listen in to be inspired by a journey that transcends titles, showing how one life can fuel a brighter future for generations.
