Seeta University has issued a firm warning to all individuals attempting to grab its land, labeling such actions as baseless and unacceptable. The university emphasized that its primary goal is to foster development in the area and serve Ugandans in a transparent and cooperative manner.
This warning was issued by Mr. Ronald Mbago, the University Administrator and Acting Vice Chancellor of Seeta University, during a press briefing held at the university’s campus in Mbalala, Mukono.
The statement came after a man identified as Edward Kizito reportedly purchased a plot of land adjacent to the university. Kizito, whose residency in the area remains questionable, allegedly brought various individuals and even involved the police in a confrontation. However, Mr. Mbago stated that all these actions were clearly misguided.
Responding to journalists’ questions about the land, Mbago expressed concern that recently, several people with unclear motives have been encroaching on other people’s land under false claims. He noted that while the university cannot directly accuse or apprehend such people, they are puzzled about who may be backing them. He urged legal authorities to intervene.
Mbago stated: "Many of these individuals are engaging in land grabbing with no legal basis. We are calling on the legal system to take appropriate action."
He also used the opportunity to warn anyone plotting to take over what doesn’t belong to them that they would not be tolerated.
Mbago added: "Let this be a warning to anyone who thinks they can grab what isn’t theirs—our resolve is firm."
Mr. Mbago went on to explain that Seeta University’s mission is to provide high-quality education, and the institution is preparing to officially open in June 2025, with students expected to begin classes on August 4th, 2025.
He revealed that the university has already partnered with international institutions to ensure that its students are globally competitive and can secure opportunities both within and outside Uganda.
Mbago shared: "We want our students to be job creators and contributors to the global workforce. That’s why we’ve partnered with reputable international universities."
Furthermore, he informed the media that the university has completed construction of student hostels, and learners will only need to bring clothing since everything else will be provided on-site. He urged Ugandans to trust the university and enroll their children at the institution.
Mbago concluded: "We’ve created a comfortable learning and living environment. Let Ugandan parents entrust us with their children."
