The government has promised to compensate students of Kyambogo University who lost their properties recently during a strike at this institution.

According to the education and sports minister Maj. Jessica Alupo the students’ compensation will be taken care of by government because this strike was occasioned on them by their university managers and lecturers.

In a meeting with the students’ leaders at Kyambogo, Alupo also assured the students that the university will not be closed down again.

She however, warned the students against rioting in case of any challenges at the university but instead they should use the right channels to seek the attention of government to resolve their problems.

The students reported to the minister that among the challenges they face include harassments by male lecturers who ask for outings with female students in exchange for good marks, lack of enough lecture rooms, toilets, duplication of course units among others.

The minister said most of these issues are going to be solved when the ministry meets university heads this week while others will be resolved after a report into the management of this university comes out.
