After Makerere administration failed to comply with a directive by the Education minister, Ms Janet Kataaha Museveni, to re-open the campus, one fresher identified as Tom has vowed to sleep at senate building today.


Tom, who was admitted do an a bachelor of Laws at Makerere said he can't withstand keeping home for this long.


"I'm here to stay...and I'm sleeping here to tonight," seemingly irritated Tom said, while carrying his brown envelope containing the provisional admission letter.


But Tom isn't the first fresher to be defiant. Yesterday, another yet-to-be identified fresher stormed the Prime Minister's Office, seeking to meet the First Lady who promised that Makerere would open today.


Unfortunately, Africa 's best Univerity is still closed. Striking staff have, with the Acting vice chancellor Prof Barnabas Nawangwe, just departed from the campus heading to State house in Entebbe to meet the president.


And as all this is happening, the university's continuing students like famous Falcao have vowed to open all the premises tomorrow Wednesday if the standoff between striking staff and the government does not get resolved today.
