Uganda is officially moving forward with its massive $4 billion oil refinery, a project set to reshape the country’s entire energy future.

The refinery will slash Uganda’s dependence on imported fuel while tapping into its 6.5 billion barrels of oil in place with up to 2.2 billion barrels recoverable.

Once completed, it will:
- Process 60,000 barrels per day
- Power local industries
- Boost national revenue
- Support new pipelines, storage hubs, and water infrastructure

For the first time ever, Uganda is on track to flip from importing fuel to exporting refined petroleum.

Production is projected to kick off around mid-2026.

Access to decent housing is a cornerstone of social development. Through ambitious housing initiatives championed by President #Kagame, #Rwanda has made significant progress in expanding access to affordable and dignified housing for its citizens.

These efforts are helping families move into safer and better-planned communities while supporting job creation in the construction sector. Affordable housing projects contribute to improved living standards, enhanced urban planning, and sustainable development.

The vision of ensuring that more Rwandans have access to quality housing reflects a leadership committed to inclusive growth and improving the welfare of all citizens.

An Ebola ‘Conspiracy’?: Why is Uganda Blacklisted While DR Congo Where It Originated Gets a Pass?
It’s very difficult to get agreement on anything in politically polarised Uganda, but there is a rare growing consensus in the country that a "conspiracy" at play against it regarding the latest Ebola outbreak.
As is often the case, the virus originated in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) where 452 confirmed cases, 1,000 suspected cases, and 82 deaths have been recorded - before spilling over into Uganda.
Uganda has registered 15 cases and just ONE (1) death, a 59-year-old Congolese man who had come into the country from the DRC.
This is where it gets strange. Despite this disparity, western governments have issued over a dozen strict travel advisories specifically targeting Uganda, far eclipsing those levied against the DRC, and even suspension of visas!!!. This has prompted Ugandan politicians and social media users to rail against them and sections of international media like Al Jazeera for "bundling Uganda with Congo" and treating the two as a single entity.
The situation in Kenya might throw some light on the Uganda case. Protests erupted in Nanyuki, in the mountainous central region of the country, over a proposed US Ebola quarantine facility at Laikipia Air Base. This backdrop lends some credence to a disclosure from an authoritative Nairobi-based journalist who said: "We hear the US initially approached Uganda, which possesses the continent’s finest technical expertise on Ebola. Kampala refused, stating, 'We are too busy managing the spillover from Congo'."
If Kampala did indeed rebuff Washington, it is confounding given the Ugandan government’s long history of subservience to US interests. Yet, it might explain why conspiracy theories are thriving. Kampala likely suspects it is being internationally penalised for refusing to fall in line and serve as an Ebola "leper colony".
What is clear is how anomalous it is for a nation with minor spillover cases to be treated as the primary medical pariah.

RATIONALISATION OF GOV'T EXPENDITURE:
The PSST Dr @rggoobi has said that effective next FY 2026/27, @GovUganda will not spend money on organising public functions (public holidays) including: Women's day,Labour day,Independence day etc). He says money will only be spent on the few religious functions.

According to Dr.Ggoobi,H.E the President @KagutaMuseveni will address Ugandans on Radio and Television from State House,adding that the money saved will be used to finance the priorities of Gov't (ATMS & Enablers).

@AJENews Eh, No single Ugandan has died due to Ebola and yes, one Congolese died in uganda and that’s it.

Uganda has experience in dealing Ebola and has always helped other countries when Ebola breaks out.

In Rwinkwavu, one of the poorest villages in Rwanda, doctors and nurses were commuting long distances to staff a hospital the community desperately needed. The answer was to build them housing and to build it from everything the land and the people already had.

The women made the bricks. The bricks built the walls. The walls now house the doctors saving lives next door. Stone quarried from the hillside for the foundations. Hand-woven eucalyptus screens wrapping the balconies, a reference to traditional Rwandan thatching, shading the corridors in the dry heat. Clay tiles forming a ventilated roof cavity that keeps the building cool and quiet enough to rest in after a twelve-hour shift. 90 percent of the labour came from Rwinkwavu residents. Women represented at least one third of hires throughout construction.

This is what it looks like when architecture treats a community as the resource and not the recipient.
