MUBs student emerges best overall at Makerere graduation

Jordon Jeff Owomugisha garnered a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 4.90 and was named the overall best student out of the over 13,000 Makerere University graduands this year.

For the last five years, the best overall student has come from MUBs, an affiliate of Makerere University.

Omwomugisha who is a former guild president at MUBs campus in Mbarara City expressed his happiness for having emerged the best student at one of Africa’s best and oldest universities.

“I feel so excitingly humbled upon the achievement I have had today. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I didn’t think I would have. It is so satisfying to be the best among more than the 13,000 graduating during the Makerere University 73rd ceremony,” he told this reporter.

He added: “I managed to make it by reading so hard and doing the right thing at the right time. I always made sure I concentrated and dedicated all my efforts to my books in periods of exams so that I could master all the concepts and pass. I also had a serious discussion group that would help me out.”

In acknowledgement of his achievement, the university management gave him sh1m and a plaque.

 The graduation at Makerere University ends today with students from the college of Humanities and Social Sciences and Engineering.
