It takes a unique kind of resilience to captain the Mighty Hill, so it makes total sense that the Guild President was born on Heroes Day.
Wishing a very Happy Birthday to Her Excellency, Kadondi Gracious.
Your exceptional guidance, integrity, and unwavering devotion to the Makerere student body continue to inspire us all. The 92nd Guild Government is deeply honored to have you leading the way.

A nation's future is anchored on the sacrifice of its past patriots and the intellect of its current youth.
This National Heroes Day, the 92nd Guild Government calls upon all Gallant Makerereans to reflect on the weight of our national heritage. The ultimate tribute we can pay to those who secured our sovereignty is to lead with purpose right here at the Ivory Tower.
Happy Heroes Day, Makerere! ✊

A lot of people think structural design is just about choosing deep steel sections or thick concrete slabs.
It’s actually about acting as a traffic warden for gravity.

Not only is the county government performing exemplary, but it has also established cost effective methods fostering development in rural areas.
What's your thought on this?
Something beautiful is in Moroto.
Yaobai cement factory is taking shape and already into production.
The Moroto plant produces clinker, which accounts for about 85% of cement production. This has created employment opportunities to the nationals and also taking a lead in the development of the district.
Glad to have seen the Moroto and Jinja magnificent infrastructure from the start.
