Many didn’t expect this time to ever come based on her situation in 2007. Aisha Nabukeera is the girl who was burnt by a stepmother in February 2006. Her story was the talk of the nation, drawing the attention of Ssisimuka Uganda CEO and businessman Frank Gashumba who took her on as a guardian. He went further ahead and sponsored her education all through primary, then the high school where she attended St. Lawrence High School and at university, being admitted to Uganda Christian University. A few years later in 2015, she even contested for the Miss Uganda crown but unfortunately didn’t win although a few months later she was awarded the special courageous achievement award by the Diva Awards.
Well, that is history now. Today at the main campus of Uganda Christian University, she has graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work and Social Administration. Her guardian, Frank Gashumba couldn’t hide his excitement as he posted a long emotion-filled message on his Facebook timeline.
“Congratulations Aisha Nabukeera! In 2007, certain hyenas based on Super FM, owned by Peter Ssematimba said this day will never come! How I wish I would see your faces now!
