Welcome to +256 where there is always something for every pocket. Recently Makerere University borrowed a leaf from Kampala International University and introduced branded gowns for its 67th graduation only accessible at Senate building’s lower store room.
Contrary to the original graduation gowns that go for shs75,000, vendors around Makerere University small gate are selling the duplicated branded gowns at shs65,000.
This comes after the graduands-to-be complained about the high prices and that’s the moment when the innovative Ugandans got employed.
Details of how they got a hold of the replica graduation gowns are not clear but one thing is for sure, their generosity is one of a kind.
The Makerere University Council approved the introduction of customised graduation gowns for Undergraduate and Graduate programmes (excluding PhDs) with effect from the 67th Graduation Ceremony in February, 2017.
The customised University Gown is intended to provide uniformity of the academic dress for graduands.
