Over the years, Makerere University has registered many cases of students’ death and suicides over the depression.
A more recent case is that of Joshua Asiimwe, a fourth year student at the school of Forestry who ended his life with poison on September 16, 2018.
Other cases
In April 2011, Francis Kigenyi, 23, a final year student of Social Sciences jumped from the 5th floor of Baskon Hostel and died instantly. The deceased left a note complaining he had trouble but no one was willing to listen to.
In November 2012, Emmanuel Kagina, a second year student at the then faculty of Arts and attached to University Hall jumped to his death from the top of Mary Stuart Hall. He had been updating his social media pages that he would commit suicide over disturbing issues.
Same year, the very month of November, Hassan Muganzi, a second year student of Information Technology and a resident of Nkrumah Hall, came down from the fourth floor of Mary Stuart Hall and died.
In September 2016, Ronald Abaho also a student attempted to commit suicide after losing his tuition fees to sports betting.
Alot of effort and strategies need to be put forth to realize a complete erosion of depression to which students of the mighty institute are succumbing.
