To give the heifers to the excited locals, Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja personally visited the Iganga District. As she spoke to the assembly, highlighting the government’s dedication to helping farmers and providing agricultural inputs for the production of riches, the air was charged with optimism and expectation.
The prime minister emphasized that because dairy farming guarantees daily economic stability and food security for households, it is a key enterprise that the government is targeting. She urged the beneficiaries to take full advantage of this chance to improve their standard of living and support the larger objective of reducing poverty in the area.
