Handing over the digital copies, the Iran embassy cultural consular officer to Uganda, Ali Bakhtiari, appealed to the winning students to preach peace and promotion of their faith.
For their part, the student leader, Abdu-Salaam Kalanzi Bwogi, commended the institutions for allowing the students to participate in the competition, as it instills discipline.
The participants were drawn from Makerere University, Islamic University in Uganda, Jinja school of nursing and midwifery, Medicare school of health, Butabika school of nursing and Mengo school of nursing.
