  • Education stakeholders are urging students at Greater Nebbi University to move away from relying on donations.
  • They advocate for the Students' Association to secure a dedicated budget from the district instead.
  • This shift aims to foster financial independence and sustainable operations for student activities.

Stakeholders in the education sector are calling on the Greater Nebbi University Students' Association (GNUSDA) to abandon its traditional reliance on donations from politicians and well-wishers. The emphasis is now on cultivating a more self-sufficient financial model for student activities.

Instead of seeking ad-hoc contributions, the association is being challenged to actively advocate for a dedicated budget line from the district. This proposed financial mechanism would provide a stable and predictable source of funding, enabling the GNUSDA to plan and execute its programs more effectively.

The push for this change is rooted in a desire to foster greater financial responsibility and independence among the student body. By securing a formal budget, the association can ensure the continuity of its initiatives and reduce its vulnerability to the fluctuating support of external donors.
