The University Librarian, Madam Florence Ssebaale, emphasized the importance of utilizing the library’s resources. “If you come to the library, be intentional. Identify resources that suit your demands, and where there are problems, ask the library assistants for guidance. Our library is fully stocked with books and e-services to meet your academic needs,” she advised.

University Accountant Malunda Vincent also addressed the students, highlighting the importance of financial responsibility and planning.

Dr. Anne Abaho, the Dean – School of Social Sciences petitioned students to set realistic academic goals. “There will be times when you will be overwhelmed with tasks, I appeal to you, set goals and avoid situations where you find yourself in a fix.”

Dr. Ester Namugumya, Dean of the School of Education, advised students to stay focused and avoid diversionary practices. “We owe you an environment that will propel your academic goals. Stay focused and avoid anything that may deter you from attaining your academic ambitions,” she said.

University Secretary, Prof. Francis Kasekende later launched the Nkumba University Annual Trade Bazaar, lauding the Guild Government for organizing the event.
