AS MAKERERE UNIVERSITY CELEBRATES CENTENARY IN 2022, I THINK THE DESTRUCTION OF THE MAIN BUILDING BY FIRE IN 2022 IS THE WORST EXPERIENCE BY THE UNIVERSITY.
It is true, there have been a number of unfortunate developments at Makerere since it was founded, however, what I saw on ground on Thursday, July 14 was confirmation that the destruction of the Main Building was the worst incident over the 100 years.
As I was taken around by James the Health, Safety and Environment Officer at the site, it was clear that the strength of the materials used , that is: The solid metal used in the making of the Tower, the bricks just to mention a few were really made to last so many years, but the fire led to the demolition which was not an easy task.
James told me that they have to get materials almost the strength of what was on the destroyed building.
It is indeed a sad story seeing the Ivory Tower no more.
