A Makerere University student (now graduand), Henry Suubi, who faced ridicule for reporting to campus with a metallic (mabaati) suitcase in 2019, is blowing a trumpet of triumph after securing a juicy job well before his graduation scheduled for late January this year.
The young but ambitious man has joined Uganda Baati, the country’s leading manufacturer and supplier of roofing sheets as an engineer.
He officially revealed this through a post on X (formerly Twitter) which has attracted hundreds of congratulatory messages.
Suubi turned heads on the first day of the semester when he strolled onto campus premises with a metallic suitcase, an unconventional choice that drew both curiosity and mockery after his image went viral on social media.
As he prepares to embark on his professional journey, check out some of the stories that built upon this background.
