Jinja city leaders have accepted a proposal by Makerere University to set up a permanent campus in the area . In 2009, the University started a campus at bell Avenue in jinja city, which currently runs even seven courses studied by over 750students accommodated at a rented facility in Jinja Town.
The leaders, led by jinja city mayor, Mr Peter Kasolo, said they are ready with land at the defunct Budondo Sub-country, current Jinja North City Division, for implementing this request tabled by the Jinja Campus director, Dr Ronald Kangungulu
“Makarere University came up with formal request to the city council because previously, they had made a request to the Division yet the issue of land is being handled by the city. I advised the,to write to me so that i present it to the executive so that it sits to make a minute for approval,” he said in an interview on Monday
