Makerere University Chancellor Prof Ezra Suruma has challenged graduating students to work for the restoration of Africa’s dignity by addressing the challenges that have made the continent a laughing stock.
He says the dignity of the African nations and the Africans is now being openly and blatantly attacked and abused.
Dr Suruma adds that Ugandans must create enough employment at home so that its people don’t have to face disgrace and death on high seas and foreign countries.
He says that the time for self-satisfaction in Africa is over and that every African has the duty to fight slavery, colonialism and neo-colonialism.
Dr Suruma was speaking at the first of the four day 68th graduation ceremony held at Makerere University Freedom Square where close to 2,424 graduated.
Those who graduated on Tuesday were from the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (CAES), College of Education and External Studies (CEES) and College of Natural Sciences (CoNAS).
