“We were able to identify Busoga University’s needs and our focus is on equipping the Computer Laboratory in line with this year’s theme, “Education for all.”  He said.

The Ag. Vice Chancellor, Dr. Frank Nabwiso thanked MTN for the donation and pointed out that BU is not looking at a one-time partnership with MTN Uganda, but a sustained one.
