Prof Elly Katunguka, the Vice Chancellor of Kyambogo University has revealed that it is in plans of increasing its income by renting out some of its idle land to investors.
Katunguka revealed these plans while addressing the press last Friday shortly after the University Council retreat.
According to Katunguka, the retreat was aimed at finding ways that would see the Banda-based University move forward among which included renting some of its land.
“The university has a lot of idle land. What are we using it for? We can get investors through the public private partnership to develop hostels and malls so that we can generate money to supplement the university’s income,” Katunguka said.
The university has a population of 25,000 students.
Katunguka noted that the university is only serving on students’ tuition something he believes needs to change.
Among other plans, Kyambogo wants to join the digital era in their communication and advertising processes as well as rebranding its management strategy.
“Members will be able to interact with each other and know better things that add value and experience to their work. We need peace and harmony in Kyambogo to move forward instead of fighting each other and Kyambogo must be an institution of excellence,” Katugnuka submitted.
