SPA Hajjat Hadijah Uzeiye Namyalo who doubles as the manager Office of the National Chairman (ONC-Kyambogo) has spent Monday afternoon meeting and interacting with students of Excel Vocational Institute Bombo. The school according to Director Shafic Mwanje has a population of over 2,000 students pursuing different vocational courses.
Hajjat Namyalo while speaking to the students thanked them for completing the month of Ramadan. “I am happy to find such a big number of bazzukulu attaining different vocational skills. It’s important irrespective of your level of education to have a skill,” noted Namyalo,”such vocational training equips you with all the necessary basic survival skills, especially with the high levels of unemployment in the country.”
President Museveni has been restlessly advocating for the skilling of bazzukulu. In 2018, he launched the Presidential initiative on skilling the girl/boy child a project that has seen thousands of bazzukulu acquire skills in hair-dressing, embroidery, tailoring, and many other courses. The President’s goal is to ensure that all bazzukulu gain meaningful employment.
Hajjat Namyalo advised the students to always use the skills attained at the institute to better their lives, create wealth and improve standards of living.
She said that skills attained at the institute are a great investment in the human resource industry, which is vital in the country’s development.
She donated food items including rice, matooke, sugar, sodas, posho, water melons among others to enable the students to enjoy their Eid Al-Fitr which is likely to be held on Wednesday this week.
Namyalo before she left this institute, reminded students that President Museveni is still willing to serve them and will be on the ballot in 2026. She promised to return with empowerment tools to facilitate a quick transition of the already trained and skilled students into the money economy.
