Minister Babalanda calls for mindset change in Buyende
Naikoli expressed appreciation for Babalanda's tireless efforts in supporting government programs, extending beyond her official duties to ensure their successful implementation.
Buyende: The Minister for the Presidency, Milly Babalanda, has called for a shift in mindset among the people of Buyende District, urging them to embrace creativity and explore various livelihood opportunities instead of depending solely on a single source of income.
She emphasized this during a visit to Baligeyea Memorial School in Nkodo Subcounty, Budiope West, Buyende District.
Babalanda highlighted the importance of skilling initiatives she has initiated to help locals diversify their livelihoods, particularly suggesting poultry farming as an effective way to combat poverty in the region.
In addition to promoting economic empowerment, Babalanda reaffirmed her commitment to improving infrastructure in the district. She pledged 100 bags of cement and 50 iron sheets to support the construction of the school. She also promised road maintenance to enhance safety and improve access within Budiope West and Buyende District.
Addressing health concerns, the Minister mentioned that the matter of constructing a hospital in the area has already been raised with the Ministry of Health, and local leaders are urged to be resourceful in addressing their community’s needs.
Babalanda’s visit also highlighted ongoing efforts for development. Naswama Monica, the female councilor and secretary of Finance and Planning in Buyende District, took the opportunity to request Babalanda’s assistance in lobbying for the construction of Kidera road and the Nabugaga bridge, key infrastructure projects connecting two sub-counties.
In gratitude, Naikoli Mathius, the Deputy RDC of Buyende, acknowledged the community’s enthusiasm for development and informed the gathering that the President will soon assess the status of the Parish Development Model (PDM) in Buyende and the greater Busoga region. He also noted the community’s strong support for Milly Babalanda as their candidate for Budiope West.
In conclusion, Naikoli expressed appreciation for Babalanda’s tireless efforts in supporting government programs, extending beyond her official duties to ensure their successful implementation.
