Makerere University is stuck with over 100,000 certificates of students who have for years been graduating.
According to Patience Rubabinda, the Deputy Registrar of Makerere University, said students have deliberately declined to pick their certificates from the office.
“Currently when students graduate we process their certificates in bulk. Over the years since 1954 we have accumulated certificates we shouldn’t be keeping but people have deliberately refused to pick them,” Rubabinda said.
However, in an interaction with one of the students said that there is a lot of bureaucracy in getting these certificates which makes most students lose interest in them.
“This is as a result of the bureaucracy of getting them. It is over 10 years and my undergraduate certificate is part of that statistic. I tried three different times in a span of two years and I gave up,” student names unrevealed narrated.
