Makerere University Hit By A Financial Vaccum To The Heart, Lacks Lecturers

Makerere University needs Uganda Shs 20 billion for recruitment of more lecturers to fill up the current human resource gaps.

According to the Vice Chancellor Prof Dumba Ssentamu, the college of computing has a staffing level of 16%, 32% for the college of Business, while that of Educations is at 18%.

Ssentamu says the issue of under staffing has always been a major stumbling block to the university development hence the need to stem it the next financial year.

He explains that many colleges are still grappling with the problem of limited staffing which is below the recommended 50% staffing level, but they are currently focusing on these three due to financial constraints.
