A Ugandan boda boda rider's grueling daily hustle paid off in profound joy as his son, Kasekende Fulugensio, defied immense odds to become a medical doctor according to reports from Tuko.
'A son of a boda rider graduates with a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery from Makerere University. From dusty streets to hospital wards this is Gods grace,' Kasekende Fulugensio posted on social media as shared Makerere University.
'Kasekende was among hundreds of graduands conferred degrees during the week long #Mak76thGrad celebrations at the universitys main campus in Kampala. His achievement has drawn admiration from fellow students and members of the public who describe his journey as a testament to hard work and perseverance despite financial challenges.
'Growing up in a modest household supported by his fathers daily earnings from operating a motorcycle taxi, Kasekende faced numerous obstacles on his path to becoming a medical doctor.
'Friends say he remained focused on his studies throughout primary and secondary school consistently, performing well and earning admission to one of Uganda's most prestigious institutions,' cited Tuko.
The father who relies on his motorcycle taxi for survival battled relentless loan repayments that once threatened to repossess his only source of income, leaving the family on the edge of despair.
