After weeks of uncertainity following a strike by non teaching staff, Makerere University officially swung open its gates for the new academic year on Saturday 22nd amidst confusion and low turn up of students.
Unlike in the past where the opening day of a new academic year sees the university teeming with a flurry of activities and people, it was the opposite on Saturday, with the institution largely deserted.
New students were seen trickling into their various halls of residence. At many of the halls Campusbee visited, students were seen waiting eagerly with their property outside the custodian’s office pending clearance.
“I have spent close to two hours here waiting to be attended to by the custodian. I don’t even know if I will be cleared today, I’ve not seen any one being worked on since I came,” – One of the freshmen intimated to us.
