After acquiring Victoria University last week, the Ruparelia Group of Companies are set to invest billions of shillings in transforming it into a leading educational outfit in Uganda and the East African Region. Victoria University was almost closed after a fall out with the University of Buckingham in the United Kingdom, over Uganda’s stance of gay and lesbian rights.

Sources close to Sudhir Ruparelia, East Africa’s richest man according to Forbes Magazine said he has always had a passion for education and has been slowly but surely investing in the sector starting with primary schools and then secondary schools.A few years ago, he was given a honorary professorship at a University in Western Uganda.
