The Minister of State for Northern Uganda Affairs, Dr. Kenneth Omona has called upon the people of Northern Uganda to appreciate the achievements and contributions of President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s government in bringing peace and transformation in the region.
He also advised that they should support all the initiatives by the President aimed at bringing prosperity in Northern Uganda.
“When I was a student at Makerere university, the first time I got a greater appreciation of this region was when I would skip our lectures to come and do some work here with our President in pursuit of peace and stability. I moved to many of these places doing very risky assignments but it was necessary for us to bring peace and stability in this region. And when I see what I see now compared to that time, sometimes I feel very emotional. Let’s all thank President Museveni for bringing this peace and stability in the region and all of you who have embraced the government of NRM,” Dr. Omona said.
He made the remarks on Friday 19th April 2024, while presiding over the graduation ceremony of 584 students at Acholi Regional Presidential Skilling Hub in Gulu district.
Dr. Omona underscored the need for parents to teach their children the history of their country in order to appreciate where they are going.
During the event, graduates received certificates in seven (7) employable vocational disciplines namely; Tailoring and design, Hairdressing and makeup, Building and Construction Practice, Carpentry & Joinery, Welding and metal fabrications, Bakery & Confectionery and Leather processing (shoe making).
