University Vice Chancellor Associate Professor Krishna Sharma says that the graduands looking forward to graduate on the day are all ready to hit the job markets after gaining knowledge from classroom, exposure through internships and enough preparation by the experienced lecturers and experts.

“We have prepared them with good knowledge in the classroom, good skills, practices and good exposure through internships from best placements which fit their programs”

He adds, “We have also did a special workshop for our graduands called total graduate where we taught them such skills like how to write cv, how to dress up, how to appear in the interview, mingling with people, how to crack a deal, stress management at work and how to be spiritual, so we prepared them for all of this”

Peggy Nabunya one of the graduands told www.mknewslink.com  that she is feeling great.

“It’s been a long time coming. I’m excited for life after school” Nabunya says

She adds that “It’s been such a pool of opportunities, networking and so many learning experiences. I’ve grown academically but also in other aspects of life like leadership as I am the former guild president”

Nabunya further commended Victoria University for ensuring that its students are exposed and allowing open door policy where students easily access the administration.

“The difference with Victoria University is that it provides great internship opportunities, positions us in such a way that we’re exposed to so many experiences that prepare us for life after education.

“I advise fellow graduands to go out and not forget all that they’ve learnt from VU. For prospective students, I’d want them to know that they’d be making the right decision to join VU. I’d also advise them to capitalize fully on all the opportunities VU provides because they are so worth it”.

The university will also use the same occasion to recognize the foundation students who have undergone one year course at the university.

In Kampala

Tortured Bobi Wine studio producer has succumbed to injuries at Mulago Hospital.

Ziggy Wine, a music producer working with a recording studio owned by Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine, has succumbed to torture wounds at Mulago National Referral Hospital.

The producer went missing on July 21 and later unknown people dropped him at Mulago Hospital casualty award half-dead. According to the family members, who found him on August 1, he was found badly tortured, with one of his eyes oozing blood.

Ziggy died shortly after we had visited him in the hospital.

When www.mknewslink.com  visited the hospital on Sunday, we found Ziggy Wine being fed from tubes inserted through his nose. He was unable to talk or recognize any one.

“He has been in this state for over a week. He has not been able to talk; he is just as you see him,” one of the family members, who declined to be identified, said.

“We fear everybody because we do not know who wanted to kill him. We are suspicious of every person who comes to see him,” she added.

When contacted, Mr Patrick Onyango, the Kampala Metropolitan spokesperson, said the family has not yet lodged a formal complaint to police so that they investigate the matter.

Bobi Wine has condemned the torture Ziggy Wine underwent.

“Ziggy is in such a bad state that he lost nearly all his senses and now survives on God’s mercy. This is one of the very many saddening stories across the country sanctioned by the very people whose duty is to protect us. As we do our best to save a life in a very critical state, kindly keep our brother in your prayers,” he wrote on his Facebook wall on Saturday.

Joseph Mayanja, aka Chameleone, also said: “We must condemn these acts of extremism against innocent people in the strongest terms and demand that police brings the culprits to book, Especially now that street cameras are in place. I call upon the fraternity of artists to stand strong against such. We lose artists every year under similar circumstances. Our leadership as Uganda Musicians Association should take serious interest in Ziggy’s state

He blessed Komujuni Kezia and her husband Ainomugisha Nicholas from Isingiro District and asked Kezia not to be the woman that would have wasted monies and many people’s time.

Ms Priscah Tumusiime the political assistant to Hon Mwesigwa Rukutana, asked Komujuni to not only to be wife but a wife material instead of being just woman in marriage.

Elliott Kabangira Magande said that it was unfortunate to have given away his daughter into marriage after losing his wife and mother to Kezia late Kellen Kabangira who passed away after being elected as village chairperson Nyaruraara.

Kabangira Magande advised Ainomugisha to love his wife and forgive each other whenever there is misunderstanding in their marriage for it to be successful.
