"Ngugi made known to the world that his writing career began here. He says this clearly in his memoir of this place, The Birth of a Dream Weaver: A Writer’s Awakening. Ngugi always stated that being at Makerere in the 1950s and 1960s was special and that anyone who missed out on this opportunity could not be consoled even when they went on to achieve big elsewhere." Prof. @SsaliSarah
