Entebbe Expressway was openly welcomed as the sole liberator to the Entebbe road traffic. However, just a short while after its commencement in June 2018, residents and students have started to test on the disadvantages.

Aggrieved Nkumba University students claim the Entebbe Expressway has become a dead spot for most of their students.

On saturday, students mobilized and started up a strike blocking part of the road at the Nkumba stage with tree logs and rocks to show their discontentment.

The strike followed a hit-and -run accident that claimed the life of Lang Gatot, 25, a Sudanese national and second year student of Petroleum and Mineral geo-science at the University.

Gatot was knocked in the wee-hours of Friday and according to the postmoterm report succumbed to an open head injury with severe  hemorrhage flowing.

It is alleged that over 12 lives are lost on average in every 24 hours as a result of the easy flow of traffic which prompts reckless driving.

Students have requested authorities to construct a flyover at the Nkumba junction to minimize on the accidents on the expressway.
