Makerere Advised to Support the Arts

 

Makerere University should be more supportive to the arts disciplines if students are to be instilled with skills for their future careers.

This was one of the talking points this week during Black Panther Phenomenon; rethinking Africa through Fiction and Arts, and of the activities of the Kampala Geopolitics Conference 2018. The event was held yesterday Friday and today, Saturday in the Makerere University Main Hall.

Youth in Kagoma Praises Museveni’s ‘Ghetto Cash’

 

A 28-year-old man in Kagoma, Wakiso district, has said President Yoweri Museveni’s ghetto initiative is already turning his life around.

After spending years looking for a job without success, Brian Okema was almost giving up when Museveni launched the Presidential Ghetto Initiative, a programme through which the president has been giving out money to youth groups in and around Kampala. Launched last month, the initiative was targeting youth living in slum areas such as Kisenyi, Kamwokya, Kibuye, Nsambya, Kagoma, Busega and Najjanankumbi among others.
