Police block Mbarara varsity students' strike

By Vision Reporter

Anti-riot police Monday morning foiled a students’ strike at the western Uganda based University.

Mbarara University of Science and Technology students went on a strike protesting against poor hygiene and sanitation at the university.  

They in particular accuse the administration for failing to improve the toiletry facilities which they claim do not flush exposing them to a risk of contracting diseases.  

This is the third time in a period of two weeks for students to strike over the same.

They closed lecture rooms and attempted to beat the guild president Sheila Nduhukire.

The University Public relations officer Denis Lutaaya said the students’ grievances will be sorted soon.
