West Nile

Hon. Kwiyucwiny made the plea on Wednesday 4th January, 2023 during the graduation ceremony of 212 students at the West Nile (Alur) Zonal Industrial Hub situated in Atheju village, Akaa sub-county in Zombo district. The graduates were equipped with hands-on skills during a five months free training in different vocational fields of work.

“H.E the President has delivered his first born, since you are the first batch of graduates. Implement what has been taught and put it in good use,” the Minister told the graduands who received Level I Certificates from the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT).

“And please take advantage of the available government programs such as Parish Development Model and Emyooga so that you fight unemployment,” she added.

Hon. Kwiyucwiny further tasked the beneficiaries to be business oriented, create a niche, learn proper handling of customers, save, and have a mindset change to develop.

She thanked H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, State House Comptroller, Ms. Jane Barekye for implementing and making the initiative a success.

On her part, Ms. Barekye thanked President Museveni for evenly extending the skilling opportunities to all regions across Uganda.

“The President’s vision was for young people who did not have degrees to be skilled and be useful to their families and the country. We have started to realise it,” the State House Comptroller asserted,  before urging graduates to put the acquired skills to good use.
