Two lecturers at Makerere University have said that most students who post poor grades during examinations do not attend lectures.

Vincent Muwonge, a lecturer in the Department of Psychology, urges students to attend lectures because first-hand information is got from the lecturers. “Missing lectures may not seem to be a big deal but at the end of the day people who miss class end up not performing and they are the ones who get 48% or 49% in final examinations,” Muwonge said.

Makerere University Abasoga Nseete Students Association (BASOGA NSEETE) beat Baganda Nkobazambogo to emerge winners of the Makerere Annual Cultural Gala Festival, 2018.

Basoga Nseete scooped a total of 655 points taking the title from defending champions Nkobazambogo, who had 650 points. In third position was Kasese Makerere Students Association (KAMASA) with 640 points.

A heavy rain disrupted activities on the first day of the cultural gala, held at University Hall.

Performances were stopped due to the heavy rain that poured in the middle of activities. Participants and spectators were seen running in search for shelter, which was not provided by the organizers.

Abraham Jesse Lukwago, a student of Bachelor of Journalism and Communication said it was unfortunate that it rained and disorganized the performances.
