28th Guild Government has seen an increase in its budget compared to those of previous Guild Governments’ budgets. The document that was presented by the Minister of Finance, Hon. Glenn Kanagulira during the plenary sitting held today totals Shs250 million, a 17% increase compared to the budget passed by their predecessor.
UCU has honoured the first University Secretary, Rt. Rev. Bishop Emeritus Dunstan Bukenya for his tremendous contribution towards the growth and development of the institution, and for pioneering the start of the law department.
UCU Canons sealed a narrow 66–65 victory over Sommet on Friday night at Abja Parks Naalya to pick up their second win of the National Basketball League season.
This was witnessed during events such as Community Worship held on Tuesday of the week. International students led the congregation in soulful Kiswahili and Nigerian praise songs.
At the start of the week, during the Sunday service on June 29th, the day’s preacher, Dr. Eve Nakabembe, defined health as a state of physical, mental, spiritual, social, and economic well being and not merely the absence of disease.
The graduation took place at UCU’s main campus in Mukono and celebrated students who had successfully finished the 12-week programme.
UCU got off to a promising start, with captain Ibanda Lwabanga knocking down a three-pointer and Joel Kayiira adding six early points, leading the Mukono side to a 15–11 advantage at the end of the first quarter.
UCU started off with a strong lead, scoring 24 points against Nabisunsa’s 11 in the first quarter. Sylvia Nakituuka opened the score with a three-point shot. Despite missing a couple of layups and jump shots, Nakituuka’s 11 first-quarter points gave the Lady Canons an early upper hand.
The Canons wasted no time asserting control, powering to a 22–11 first-quarter lead. Their sharp offence and early defensive energy set the tone.
