Members of the Uganda Christian University (UCU) Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme are set to benefit from an interest rate of 12.33% on their savings towards retirement for the financial year ending December 31, 2025. This was announced during the annual general meeting held on June 11, 2026.
Athletes were from various institutions, including UCU, Uganda Police Force (UPF), Uganda Prisons, Luwero Secondary School, and Gombe Secondary School. Some districts including Koboko, Masindi, and Arua City also had participants take part.
