Finally Victor Ruz goes back to School…
“I’m back to school not only as a student but also as a brand ambassador Victoria University.” Partly reads his Facebook post. The 21 year old singer however did not reveal the course that he is to offer at Victoria University reports Campusbee .
This comes as a big relief especially to Victor’s Mother and family .The latter have been wondering what next for him after breaking into the limelight. Uganda has a history of popular Musicians who either stopped schooling or just didn’t seem into the idea .The idea of proceeding to higher institution of learning.
