The 105 houses are part of the planned 205 houses to be built. The structures are located on parcels of land chosen by the affected persons and have been designed to last for atleast 25yrs. The completion and handover of the remaining 100 houses is planned for end of August 2023.
As the Ministry of Energy & Mineral Development, we promised to implement Uganda’s oil and gas projects while safeguarding the environment and transforming the lives of our people. We shall sustainably exploit Uganda’s natural resources for social and economic transformation. I hope the world is watching what is happening here.
The equipment includes Cassava chippers, silos, milling plants and drying racks among others and is aimed at supporting farmers to access and utilize good agronomical practices to improve their household incomes levels and I urge the farmer groups to use these optimally. #TotalEnergiesUganda also commemorated 10yrs of the local scholarship program that has benefitted over 270 students from the districts of Buliisa, Nwoya, Pakwach, Masindi and Nebbi. The beneficiaries are supported in O’level and Alevel education in the top schools in the country.
