Iganga-based Busoga University is conducting lectures despite the revocation of its licence seven years ago, Daily Monitor has learnt.
The University, which was founded in 1999, had its licence revoked in 2017 by the National Council for Higher Education (NCHE) for allegedly lacking qualified staff, teaching uncredited courses and awarding fake degrees to more than 1,000 students, mainly of South Sudanese descent.
The institution last held a graduation in 2016 but since then, at least 1,659 students have their graduation pending.
During a September 20 visit to the university, Monitor found its gates open, offices operating and at least 366 students continuing with studies.
Some of the people found conducting lectures said “the university was not closed, but only had its licence revoked which does not mean end of business (for teaching students).”
