Moreover, Speaker Among issued a rallying call to all Ugandans to wholeheartedly embrace the census, recognizing its significance in shaping the nation’s future. She urged UBOS officials to expedite the enumeration process while ensuring comprehensive coverage to guarantee accuracy.
As Uganda gears up for the census, Speaker Among’s remarks serve as a poignant reminder of the vital role that each citizen plays in contributing to the success of this nationwide endeavor. With unity and cooperation, Uganda stands poised to harness the power of data for progress and development.
The enumeration of Speaker Among and her husband not only signifies their participation in this historic undertaking but also symbolizes a collective commitment to building a brighter future for all Ugandans.
