About Rumbek_University
The concept of establishing Rumbek University was first adopted in February 2006 when, the president of the Republic of Sudan at that time, Omer Al-Bashir visited Rumbek. He pledged to build a university in the town, making the new university the fourth (4th) public university in South Sudan (then Southern Sudan). Subsequently the project was discussed and approved at the Sudanese federal level in Khartoum and at the regional level in Juba. The university was subsequently established in 2010 as a joint project between the federal government in Khartoum and the Southern Government in Juba. Following South Sudan's independence in July 2011, the university is now the sole responsibility of the government of South Sudan (GOSS).
