These including ;\u00a0 Sam Ssekyewa, Moses Mushime, Francis Kibombo, Cissy Nabatanzi, Emmanuel Kanyesigye and John Robert\u00a0 Turyakira claim the president who has been\u00a0 referred to as a visitor\u00a0 in the plaint\u00a0 exceeded his legal mandate to order for the closure of Makerere University yet such powers are vested in the University council.<\/p>\n
The students contend that their right to Education and\u00a0careers are put at stake\u00a0due to the uncertainty of the opening date of their University.<\/p>\n
