Makerere University has suspended eight students for engaging in the Saturday 5th March, 2022 clash between residents of Mitchell and University halls. This according to letters seen by this website, signed by the Acting Vice Chancellor, Prof. Henry Alinaitwe.

The suspended students include Collin Chemonges Asiimwe, David Mutesasira, Muhammadi Luzze, Zekelea Ssengendo, Joel Mujulizi, Kizito Luzige, Yunus Lubega and Raymond Ochieng.

Campus is a pretty interesting place to be, not until one runs broke.  When poverty strikes, you have no plan for lunch nor supper and survival is only at the mercy of extra porridge nights.

Porridge nights are not only interesting but also hunger-saving. During the nights, porridge is cooked at a given hall - depending on who the organizers are. There is usually music for people to dance to but what usually gets some out of bed, especially on those pocket-empty nights, is the hunger that sends them porridge-hunting.

Makerere University’s Journalism and Communication department is considering an additional course onto the curriculum to equip students with professional safety and security tips. The revelation was made by Dr. Ivan Lukanda, a lecturer and projects coordinator in the department.

He made the remarks while flagging off a 4-day webinar organized by Makerere University in partnership with Oslo Metropolitan University (OSLOMET). Dr Lukanda says this will equip journalists with skills on how to guard against cyber insecurity and other physical attacks which journalists often face.
