President Museveni has said Uganda would be very far out of poverty, if several citizens, used the available government, opportunities, to invest in the areas of their understanding.

The Pre-sident used the example of events promoter Balaam Barugahara, who invited him to commission a radio station in Masindi.

He said it is high time Ugandans thought outside the box by knowing that Government jobs are not enough to employ all the unemployed.

According to H.E the President, the four sectors of wealth creation (Commercial agriculture, Industries/Manufacturing Services, and Information Communication Technology-ICT) are well known, and Ugandans, especially the youths, should find their passion among them and become wealth creators.

Museveni, who was accompanied by the First Lady and Minister of Education and Sports, Hon. Janet Museveni, was speaking to political leaders, clergy and the people of Bunyoro at Boma grounds in Masindi shortly after commissioning several projects owned by events promoter, Balaam Barugahara that included Radio 7 and laying a foundation stone for the construction of Masindi 5 Star Hotel whose construction is in advanced stages.

The President said Government has brought peace and developed infrastructure like roads and electricity to enable everybody to do business. He said Resident District Commissioners (RDCs) should sensitise the public about wealth creation channels and not wait to be employed by the Government.
