While speaking at the ceremony, Prof. Hanington Ssengendo cautioned the new guild leaders against strikes and any kind of misbehavior.

“Work with the university management team in harmony in order to solve students’ problems instead of resorting to strikes.” Ssengendo said.

He also tasked the students leaders to sensitize and encourage their fellow students to pay fees, use the library and avoid exam malpractice.

“Utilize the various offices for advice and emphasize the 4Cs of the university (Competence, Character, Confidence and Character )”, Ssengendo stressed.

The function was attended by the dean of students, Kasasa Christopher, the outgoing Nkumba university Guild President, Byarugaba Julius, Deans of the different schools , staff members and studnts.
