“Another important thing is to create a graduate internship. Even as a university we deliberately employ young graduates who are trained as a graduate entrance.

“We have also received a lot of requests from industry and the public sector asking for our students to enroll in their graduate internship programmes and because of advocacy, a lot of companies including international companies are prepared to support our students as well as our graduates,” he said.

He further commended Honori University for working round the clock to reposition Nile University as the best private university in the country, while thanking the management, staff, academic and non-academic staff working around the clock to ensure that these undergraduates started their lofty journey.

“Today, I’m proud to say that Nile University today has over 6000 students facing different programmes at this institution as of now, Nile University has 38 undergraduate programmes and 51 postgraduate programmes. This is not a small feat by every definition, this decision is responding to the needs of this country.”
