Melyvn Lorenzen, Werderbremen striker has not yet decided his commitment with Uganda

The 21-year-old will not feature in Africa Cup of Nations qualification match when Botswana will take over Uganda Cranes on Saturday June 4, 2016.

“Decision time [for Lorenzen] will be after the match against Botswana,” Uganda FA communications manager Ahmed Hussein said.

He impressed for Uganda Cranes in a 2-0 defeat friendly match played with Zimbabwe  at Rufaro stadium in Harare on Tuesday.

Lorenzen was born in London and qualifies to play for both Uganda and German through his father and mother respectively.

Uganda coach Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic praised the contribution Lorenzen had made during his time with the squad.

“We shall definitely miss the extra impetus he would have brought to the team as we saw in the friendly match against Zimbabwe,” the coach said.

“So for now we shall concentrate on the able players we have in the team to accomplish our mission.”

The coach will be worried about the fitness of striker Faruku Miya, who plays in Belgium for Standard Liege, after he missed the loss to Zimbabwe with concussion.

University spokesperson, Ritah Namisango says that the decision to have such a system was reached by the university management, senate and council.

Namisanago however says that the vice chancellor has already requested student leaders to write a petition containing their grievances and their proposals for more scrutiny.

She maintains that after receiving the petition, a meeting will be convened involving both student leaders and university management for a way forward.

Prof. John Ddumba Sentamu, Vice Chancellor of Makerere University

Makerere University vice chancellor, Prof. J. Ddumba Ssentamu revealed that the current university curriculum has a mismatch with the job market compared to the one used during the 1980s.

Prof. Ssentamu criticizes the plan by the government to put much emphasis on secondary and primary education and leaving out tertiary education saying it’s a great threat to this nation.

He advises that government to re-focuses on supporting tertiary institution education so as to have better products of graduates that will serve the country.

However, retired court judge, Prof. George Kanyaihamba noted that Uganda’s education problem is much bigger and needs to be dealt with at national level but not at sector level.

The forum running under the theme, “universities and the changing employment context in Africa” seeks to find solution to the sector’s problem and have the tertiary institution curriculum revised to suit the current demands of the job market.
