Nkuutu Memorial Secondary School

Nkuutu Memorial Secondary School (NKUMESCO) is a government aided school in Iganga, Uganda.[1][2] It is a church founded school and was first established as Busesa girls working together with Busesa boys on the opposite side of the road (now Busesa Mixed Primary School). As the need for a secondary school arose it was expanded into a secondary school and was named in memory of Hon. Shaban Kirunda Nkuutu who was brutally killed during Idi Amin's regime.[3]
