Biography
Henry Oboke always knew he wanted to do something that helped his country and people. As a child, his dream was to become a scientist. But in 1972, when he was in secondary school, Uganda’s former president Idi Amin expelled the Indian community from the country. Henry Oboke’s science teacher was an European expatriate. Unsure about his future in Uganda after the Indians were expelled, the science teacher took off leaving the school’s science classes in disarray. Henry Oboke decided to study geography, economics and psychology instead of science; a choice he has not regretted.
