After finishing in second position in the Ultimate University Quiz season two, last year, Lira University has announced its preparedness to claim victory in a contest that brings together over 20 universities.
They lost to Gulu University in a tight contest. “This year, we expect nothing less than the first place,” said John Baptist Ogiete, a student. Bright Hasahya Erato, one of the stars that put up a spirited fight that saw them take the second position, promised to do her best to make her university shine. “I look forward to being in the third season and we are prepared. We are returning with new energy,” Hashya said.
The university leadership promised its students total support that will enable them to win. The vice-chancellor of Lira University, Prof. Jasper Ogwal Okeny, described the quiz competition as a valuable opportunity for students to widen their thinking capacities and gain confidence.
“In today’s world, if you cannot express yourself, how can you succeed? You have to talk your way through life,” Ogwal said during the orientation of students held at the university on Thursday (4th September 2025).
The vice-chancellor praised Vision Group for organising the competition, saying it helps train the next generation of professionals. “You’re really helping us to train this generation. Training will increase the confidence of people, and it helps those of us who used to look for jobs. If you are not confident, then I don’t see how you can get a job,” he said.
