Mbarara University Demolishes Canteens, Students to Find Other Options

It has come to our notice that the Mbarara University management together with the university engineer demolished the canteens that used to offer cheap food at the institution. These canteens have been under one roof at what students term as the Lower Faculty and they have been over 5 of them offering food at lower prices. They have been offering students with the cheapest food around campus and some of the lecturers have also been having their meals from there.

Apart from serving cheap food, there have been over 3 secretarial service providers under the same roof that have been providing print works plus other secretarial services at a convenient place and price. They were also demolished due to unclear issues from the university management. These canteens and stationary have stayed in this area for the last ten years.

After demolishing these restaurants, there remains one restaurant in the lower campus known as “Sippers Restaurants” which sells slightly more expensive food and cant accommodate the big influx that will result. The university engineer talked about this issue and said that they have partnered with a new service provider who will share the kitchen with Sippers and develop the place to serve the whole big population of MUST.
