Uganda Christian University (UCU) Easter Semester Guild Bazaar officially kicked off on January 27, 2025. The event, organised by the guild government every semester, aims to provide students with affordable shopping options while helping them cut costs. Traditionally, the bazaar takes place in the second week of the semester, but this time, it was delayed.

Many students, both innovators and consumers have expressed their outmost appreciation towards the business community for fostering this initiative calling it a stepping stone towards financial independence and practical economic literacy.

Bravo stated that as the first ever elected president of the UCU Business Society, he intends to advocate for the interests of students and build a visible society aimed at influencing mature minds of leadership.
