It's funny how neighboring one of the best Universities can turn your dream home into the place of nightmares. The neighborhoods of the University are calling upon different stakeholders to always intervene and calm down the students since they destroy lots of their property as well as crippled their businesses whenever they are striking.

A strike against tuition increment has entered day four at Makerere University with no sign of either side compromising.
Students at Uganda’s biggest and oldest university went on strike on Tuesday to a 15% progressive fees increment on their tuition which is supposed to be done for five years. The policy started in the academic year 2018/2019 and it only affects new students, not the continuing ones.
