watchdoguganda.com, January 04, 2023, 11:23AM | The State House Comptroller, Ms. Jane Barekye has tasked the youth to make the Zonal Industrial Hub Initiative a success story so as to push Uganda’s socio-economic transformation agenda.
To say this, Ms. Barekye was passing out 212 students who graduated at the Acholi Zonal Industrial Hub after completing a free- five months skills development training in the different vocational disciplines on Tuesday, 3rd January, 2023.
The State House Comptroller said President Yoweri Museveni initiated the Industrial hubs project across the country in order to enhance youth skilling and training. She therefore requested the beneficiaries not to disappoint the President by making the initiative a success story.
“Use the skills you have acquired here to work and improve your livelihoods and that of your families,” Ms. Barekye advised.
“Please do not disappoint the President. Ensure that this becomes a success story; so go out and embrace the President’s vision of transforming Uganda socially and economically,” she added.
Concerning a request by Acholi leaders to increase the number of in-take in the industrial hub, the comptroller asked them to be patient because State House has got other industrial hubs across the country, they facilitate yet the funds are still limited.
“There’s a possibility to implement your request once Parliament increases State House’s budget,” Ms. Barekye assured.
The Comptroller further said that the President will provide beneficiaries with a common user facility equipped with machines which will be used by everyone for free to manufacture goods which they will take to the market to sell and earn a living.
