Student who succumbed to injuries from Fido Dido building church ceiling collapse was months away from graduation

Uganda Christian University (UCU) has identified the student killed in the Fido Dido Building church ceiling collapse as Lorita Blessy Asimwe.

The Mukono-based university says Asimwe was pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management.

“She was one of the victims of the Fidodido building collapse yesterday. Lorita had gone for Lunch Hour Prayers and she was due to graduate in July, 2021.”
