H.E. Ambassador Aftab Ahmad Kohkher, Assistant Secretary-General for Science and Technology, represented the OIC Secretary-General, H.E. Mr. Hissein Brahim Taha, at the 34th Graduation Ceremony of the Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU), which was held on 20 December 2025 at the Main Campus in Mbale, Uganda.

He reaffirmed the OIC’s full commitment to supporting IUIU in its mission to emerge as a center of academic excellence and a catalyst for socio-economic development within the region and the wider Muslim world.
