My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness veils his lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

His oath, his covenant, his blood
Supports me in the 'whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness

Gone from sight but not from our Hearts. 🕊Fly High Mama Pam, fly on the COOLEST DOSA.

“The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.” — Vince Lombardi 🏆

Yesterday was a defining day at the Centre of Excellence, @UCUniversity. Nearly the whole day was filled with moving moments as the outgoing guild governments from Main Campus and @UcuKampala formally handed over the instruments of power to the 28th Guild Government. The mantle now rests with the 28th @theucuguild, led by my brother @EloAbra and his incredible team, ( I know they will lift student service to new heights).

I am deeply humbled and grateful to receive the #OrombiExcellenceAward for Parliamentarian of the Year 2025. It is a profound honour that inspires me to keep championing bold, impactful leadership — of course with a touch of intentional honour😌. 🙏

Can #AI really change Uganda’s economy, or just our buzzwords🙂?

We’re unpacking the real impact: jobs, innovation, and the race to 2030.

The other week at @UCUniversity, we held the #UCURun under the theme #HopeInEveryStride 🏃‍♂️💫
Scrolling through my gallery reminded me of how powerful that day was, every step we took made education a little more affordable for someone.
Thank you all ! 💛

2ND PUBLIC INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE HIGHLIGHTS:

Minister of State for Planning,Amos Lugoloobi said
Public investment management is a powerful tool for national and socio-economic transformation.

He said the aspiration for a better Uganda depends on our ability to manage public investments in a manner that is strategic, efficient and sustainable.

 Lugoloobi said @mofpedU remains committed to deepening the integration of medium-term expenditure frameworks, strengthening revenue mobilisation, and rationalising expenditures to focus on the core priorities.

"Our mandate is clear: we must continue to invest in Uganda’s future prudently, ensuring that every shilling yields meaningful and lasting returns," said the Minister.

Glad and excited for this new journey ahead. To the good people on this. 🫡🤗

Only promotes primary production in Uganda and SSA at large rather than value addition that could expand the economic returns.

What now impends a "Business in and for Society" production but a "Business through Society for investors " structure in Africa.🥺

[joab kabigumira @KayJoab]

40-80% for the non agro-products. What does this respond to the envisaged impact on economic returns from Uganda's back -bone activity and to a larger extent, the advancing of AFRICAPITALISM in Subsaharan Africa?

The numbers may be have continued to drive a narrative that..
