“Everything has its own time. Just set your goals and go for them. If they don’t work out, try out something else. You will surely hit the jackpot along the way.

Kyambogo University has in the recent past experienced an increase in suicide cases that has seen the Vice-chancellor making efforts to protect the students from themselves.

“Students take a lot of alcohol in their hostels, girls get involved in all kinds of relationships with older men and we do not have control over these things. To save our children’s lives, we are going to talk to the owners so that students do not come back to hostels late and avoid hosting men which later lead to depression when the men leave them,” the Vice-Chancellor said.
