The JEEMA head of institutions, Abdalla Tiff Mukasa, said they have spent sleepless nights in Mbarara strategizing and he’s not surprised that victory has come their way.
“I’m not surprised by this victory, we have spent sleepless nights planning and strategizing for this victory, we have worked for it” I want to thank the students for entrusting our Candidate with such responsibilities, Abdalla Tiff added.
