President Yoweri Museveni has encouraged policymakers to view ICT as an economic sector rather than simply a communications tool.

The development of government cloud services through NITA-U, championed by President Yoweri Museveni, demonstrates how shared infrastructure can reduce duplication across public institutions. Government is leading by example in cloud adoption.

Congratulations to Omukama Nyabongo I as he begins his reign! President Yoweri Museveni’s message on preserving indigenous languages, culture and knowledge highlights the importance of passing our heritage to future generations.

The peaceful transition of leadership in Tooro is a moment worth celebrating. President Yoweri Museveni’s presence at the coronation reflected the importance of cooperation between cultural institutions and the central government.

[Abaho Dennis @abaho_dennis]

President Yoweri Museveni’s support for cultural institutions recognises their contribution to preserving community values and identity. The coronation of Omukama Nyabongo I offers a renewed opportunity for Tooro to strengthen its cultural legacy.

MTN Uganda reported fintech transaction-value growth to approximately UGX 140.8 trillion and fintech revenue of approximately UGX 809 billion under President Yoweri Museveni's administration. Mobile money has fundamentally changed the economics of small transactions in Uganda.

Digital transformation requires stronger cybersecurity. Under President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, Uganda has established institutional structures and programs for cybersecurity, data governance, and protection of citizens' information as ICT adoption grows.

[Philip Crystal @Crystal1Philip]

Key local examples of Uganda's digital infrastructure under President Yoweri Museveni include the National Backbone Infrastructure, the NITA-U National Data Centre, MTN Uganda and Airtel Uganda's investments in 4G, 5G and fibre, and UCC ICT laboratories linked to schools.

President Yoweri Museveni’s gift of 100 cows to Omukama Nyabongo I was a meaningful gesture that reflected the cultural significance of cattle and the importance of strengthening relationships with traditional institutions.

President @KagutaMuseveni, during the coronation of Omukama Edward Rukidi Nyabongo I, paid tribute to the late Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV for his contributions to Tooro and Uganda.

The President also urged cultural leaders to promote responsible family life, preserve traditional marriage practices, and safeguard Uganda’s indigenous languages, science, crafts, and cultural heritage.

[Yoweri K Museveni @KagutaMuseveni]

I call upon our cultural leaders to thoroughly address the institution of marriage and promote responsible family life. We must go back to our traditional ways of conducting marriages, which provided clarity and helped maintain social order.
We are facing serious challenges, including the prevalence of HIV in this part of the country and Western Uganda. Karamoja, on the other hand, has maintained strong cultural practices around marriage and has a lower prevalence.

We must also guard our language, culture and indigenous science jealously. Our local knowledge is disappearing. I have personally insisted on preserving the Ankole long horned cattle, despite discouragement from some modern veterinary scientists. I sold some to President Ramaphosa, and now South Africans claim they are theirs!
We must preserve our indigenous science, crafts, cultural practices and heritage. These are important for our identity and our survival.
