A varsity Vice-chancellor in East Africa said most students on his campus drop out annually after losing their fees to betting companies.
A Makerere University don Prof. Barnabas Nawangwe disclosed this at the campus premises on Tuesday during the 12th award ceremony for the best-performing business management student.
During the ceremony, Prof Anangwe revealed that 1,000 students usually drop out on his campus annually after losing fees to betting companies.

“Contrary to popular belief, these students did not drop out due to lack of funds. They had the necessary fees but chose to gamble in the hopes of making a profit,” Prof Nawangwe stated.
Further, the don said their research also found out that another section of students after losing their fees to sports betting companies, always go to the extent of inviting their parents to graduation yet they never school.
“So many of them of course end up losing it and they start telling their parents stories; others even invite their parents on graduation day when their names are not on the graduation list.”
