“I feel so excitingly humbled upon the achievement I have had today. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that I didn’t think I would have. It is so satisfying to be the best among more than the 13,000 graduating during the Makerere University 73rd ceremony,” he said.

He added: “I managed to make it by reading so hard and doing the right thing at the right time. I always made sure I concentrated and dedicated all my efforts to my books in periods of exams so that I could master all the concepts and pass. I also had a serious discussion group that would help me out.”

In acknowledgement of his achievement, the university management gave him Shs1 million and a plaque.

The graduation at Makerere University ends today with students from the college of Humanities and Social Sciences and Engineering.
