Overview

The land where the Kibuli Mosque stands today was donated by Prince Nuhu Mbogo, a member of the Buganda Royal Family, who built the first mosque there in 1892.

Prince Badru Kakungulu, a son of Price Nuhu Mbogo donated most of the land to the Ugandan Moslem community. That land today houses Bethany Victory Church, Kibuli Secondary School, Kakungulu Memorial School, Kibuli Hospital and Kibuli Teacher Training College. The hill also accommodates a police training school. At the base of the hill, on the eastern side of Kibuli, is the neighborhood called Namuwongo, the location of the old Industrial Area of the city and the oil depots of two major oil companies; Vivo Energy and TotalEnergies.
