OPINION

“Uganda to reap huge wealth and Jobs from domestic oil Production, Oil is thus going to be a catalyst to economic transformation of Uganda to higher middle income.”
Uganda has hit a natural windfall by discovering oil, gas and electricity all which will translate into Trillions and Billions of money and 60,000 jobs between now and 2025 when the first products hit the market.
Our gratitude and appreciation should go to the father of the nation His Excellency Gen. Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the President of Uganda for not only providing effective leadership and security of the country, person and property of Uganda since 1986, but being a faithful steward of the country’s rich natural resources.
This is testimony that his stay in that position of power and authority by choice of Ugandans is strategic otherwise who else would Ugandans entrust that noble duty without a possibility of abuse, if it wasn’t him our beloved President.
Ugandans should now be ticking the scorecard boxes on the President’s tenure 2021-2026 under the theme; securing your future. Therefore looking at the rate of turnover of events I cannot hesitate as a voter to give his Excellency a rating of 110% so far because he has mobilised resources to finance programs for social economic transformation of the country, the rest is now implementation of programs by technocrats of the different MDAs of government.
As NRM cadres, the money and the wealth from oil and gas gives us a golden, God given advantage to do much more and retain the seat of power in Uganda since the population will be feeling more satisfaction economically and socially.
Congratulations to all Ugandans, the NRM cadres, and indeed Your Excellency for the Final Investment Decision (FID) agreement and indeed, the official announcement of the events leading to the promised land of oil 2025.
