Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The 300 South Sudanese students who studied at the Juba-based branch of Kampala University, but were denied graduation, are now having their academic credentials conferred to them, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The students are being graduated by Team University, Kampala campus affiliated with the Destiny University College in Juba, the City Review newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

The graduation ceremony is reportedly happening at Pope Paul Memorial hotel garden, Kampala.<\/p>\n

In July 2022, the South Sudanese students who completed their studies from the Juba-based campus, dragged Kampala University Vice Chancellor Badru Dungu Kateregga to the court.<\/p>\n

They accused Mr Dungu, and the administration of betrayal by tricking them into paying their tuition for years at the controversial Kampala University of South Sudan.<\/p>\n

The tuition fees were allegedly paid via the University\u2019s account at the Number One Charter Bank in Uganda.<\/p>\n

However, a few days into the graduation ceremony, the VC made an abrupt announcement that he closed the Juba branch.<\/p>\n

Prof. Dungu later defended his decision, saying the Juba-based branch suspended operation in 2017, after the South Sudan authorities demanded \u201can unreasonable registration fee.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Kampala court later ruled in favor of the university, thus terminating the case and maintaining that any activities at the suspended college in Juba are illegal.<\/p>\n
