Wakiso, (UG):- The Senior Presidential Advisor at Office of the National Chairman (ONC), Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo Uzeiye on Saturday extended support worth Shs 5 million towards infrastructure development at Grace High School in Gayaza, Wakiso District and promised to push for skills empowerment through her Kyambogo office.
Hajjat Hadijah made the donation as she officially opened the school’s newly built multipurpose hall named after European missionaries, Rev. Trevor and Ruth Stevenson of Ambassadors of Hope, an NGO affiliated to the school.
Speaking at the ceremony attended by students, parents, and staff, Hajjat Namyalo reaffirmed President Museveni’s commitment to fostering skills development, starting from early education through to vocational training.
“We as the office of the National Chairman of NRM, we are going to work hand in hand with you to ensure that your dreams come true. It’s unfortunate that we had limited time here due to the busy schedule, but I’ll return here very soon for a longer engagement with you on matters concerning skills development and Empowerment,” Hajjat Namyalo remarked.
She emphasized the critical role of practical skills in combating unemployment and transforming students into future job creators.
“As a nation, we must focus on skills development right from the grassroots level in our schools to ensure that our youth are equipped to become job creators rather than job seekers,” she added.
The SPA applauded the founders of the school Mr Ray Barnett and Ms Robinah Lubwama for the thoughtful vision of looking ahead to establish an institution aimed at imparting skills and Christian virtues into the Ugandan learners.
She further urged the learners to stay focused and avoid being distracted by the desire for money and early fun that can often derail young people from their goals and or compromise their future success. She further asked the school director Mr Tony Mwebe to uphold the message amongst the students, especially the girl child.
“Please stay safe, abstain, and don’t allow yourselves to be swept away by the events and worldly pleasures around you,” she advised the students, encouraging them to maintain discipline and prioritize their studies as long-term success and stability can only come from hard work, perseverance, and making wise choices at a young age.
The ONC boss pledged to reach out to the President for extended support to the school, promising that on her second return, she will engage directly with the students and empower them with capital items designed to enable them to start their own ventures.
The Chief Muzzukulu concluded her speech with the endorsement of #MzeeTovaKuBallot2026 campaign, urging the school community to overwhelmingly vote for the President, who is undoubtedly coming back in the ballot in the next presidential elections.
