History

Makerere Kikoni was mainly a slum in semi permanent structures. It is now mostly developed with hostels. The genesis of this development is traced to a policy adopted by Makerere University in the early 1990s, to admit private students. These students had to cater for their residence. Some residences were converted into hostels to house the students. In recent years, multi storey blocks have been put up to serve as hostels. Besides the hostels, Makerere kikoni is developed with supermarkets, churches, the most outstanding being University Church Fellowship (UCF), hotels like "The Grand Global hotel", "J Frigh Hotel", and"Sheron Hotel". It also has Schools like "Makerere Modern Secondary School" and "Caltec Academy", as well as residential developments.
