Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Newly elected Vincent Lubega Nsamba has taken over as Makerere University\u2019s 90th guild president after taking oath on Monday.<\/b><\/p>\n

In his inaugural address, Nsamba said he wants three sections added to the guild statute in 2022 amended, noting that theu infringe on the privileges of students and rights to political party affiliation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to regain our rights as students and go back to the normal days of open campaigns that allow students to openly mobilise votes in their political parties,\u201d Lubega remarked in speech full of calls for university electoral reforms.<\/p>\n

Other areas of concern cited by Nsamba include advocating for immediate restructuring and reinstatement of businesses previously evicted from the university premises in November 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are the businesses that were within simple reach and cost friendly but now students have to walk long distances and spend much money,\u201d he observed.<\/p>\n

Nsamba also announced an ambitious plan of creating employment opportunities for students to be able to solve some financial issues like clearing tuition balance in time.<\/p>\n

Further, he pledged to lead charges for renovation of various university infrastructure including halls of residence and toilets.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also want these halls to be renovated in a way that gives easy access to the different students living with disabilities,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the swearing-in ceremony was graced by Makerere University Deputy Vice Chancellor Prof Henry Alinaitwe, who represented tVice Chancellor Barnabas Nawangwe.<\/p>\n

Prof Nawangwe asked the new guild leadership to work closely with the university management.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are facing challenges as the students\u2019 community, discuss them with the university management so that together can find solutions,\u201d the VC said in his speech read by Prof Alinaitwe.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a university policy that you should not have retakes. So uphold academic excellence,\u201d he advised guild leaders.<\/p>\n

Ms Winifred Kabumbuli, Dean of students, in her remarks asked the guild president to carry out the duties with diligence and serve as a proactive for the students.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemember the importance of listening to the voices of your fellow students, upholding the values of inclusivity, diversity and striving for the betterment of the university,\u201d Kabumbuli said.<\/p>\n

The guild president was sworn together with his vice Joy Eve Sserunjoji, Prime Minister Rodney Adroni and deputy Prime Minister Shri Nakaziba, among others.<\/p>\n
