Designed to deliver 190,000 barrels of oil per day, the #TilengaProject is Uganda’s flagship oil & gas development, operated by @TotalEnergiesUG, in partnership with @UNOC_UG and CNOOC Uganda Limited.

At its heart is one of East Africa’s largest & most complex industrial projects, the Central Processing Facility (CPF). Located within an Industrial Area spanning ≈700+ Acres, about 80–85 football pitches, the CPF itself covers approximately 163 Acres and is located in Kasenyi village, Buliisa District.

Here, crude oil from +420 wells will be processed and prepared for export. +8000 are involved in delivering the project, 80% of these are Ugandan!

Who built America? You will be surprised - no politician, scientist or intellectual. History Channel has an amazing series on this topic in which they have chosen just entrepreneurs. Five among thousands. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, John Rockefeller, JP Morgan and Henry Ford. These five gentlemen built the fundamental, core industries - infrastructure, steel, oil, banking and automobiles respectively.

These entrepreneurs also founded philanthropy as we know it today. Most of them gave away a majority of their wealth to society in their lifetime. One reason for America’s greatness today is its university system. It is the hub of thinking and innovation. Much of it, almost all the top 40, was built by private philanthropy. In fact, some of the best libraries, think tanks and hospitals in America were also built by the wealth entrepreneurs gave back. Not just these five, but thousands of them.

All of them also fulfilled their responsibility towards their children by supporting their passion. Some stayed in the business, others exited. Eventually, the businesses became institutions and survive and thrive to this day. All their ventures were treated as national assets, not family silver.

American capitalism is vibrant, dynamic and has wide social acceptance because of these incredible entrepreneurs. They did something different. India shares some of its DNA with the US. It is a large country with a tradition of entrepreneurship and blessed with tremendous natural resources and human resources.

Who will build that India? We must encourage our entrepreneurs, trust them, give them respect and dignity. They will build assets, harness natural resources, create jobs, contribute revenue and accelerate India’s rise. Let us not distract them with processes. Allow self-certification and let them focus all their energies productively, building their business.

I have no doubt that we can do even better than America. Our natural resources and human resources are tremendous. The power and potential of our women is unparalleled.

I am confident that dynamic entrepreneurship with a philanthropic mindset, facilitated by Government and appreciated by society is what will make India the number one country in the world. If this won’t happen in the time of Modi government, which is recognised by the world for its dynamism, then when will it happen?

People ask me why I’m never in Kampala anymore.

I often wonder why I still go back to the chaos, pollution and potholes. 🫣

One of the central themes of this account has long been that Africa is in grave danger of becoming synonymous with poverty.

By 2030 80 % of extremely poor people will reside on the continent, up from about 14 % in 1990.

If you are a Young African, the story of your life has been to watch Eastern Europe, the Gulf, and Asia become fantastically rich, while you just sit and watch, dreaming about the diaspora.

As judicial officers become more averse to granting bail, let the deaths of Advocate Kasango and now Ssegirinya remind us of the right to presumption of innocence and to be humane and understanding when judging.

Honouring Ratan Tata. A model in so many ways. A proud Indian. A thoughtful internationalist. Custodian of a family business, who ceaselessly innovated. A dedicated philanthropist. It was a privelege to know and learn from him. Your legacy will continue to inspire generations.

Ratan Tata ’59, B.Arch. ’62, the university’s most generous international donor and one of India's most respected business leaders and philanthropists, passed Oct. 9. We will remember his legacy of transformative giving to Cornell.

I am saddened by the tragic death of Herbert Wigwe, CEO and co-Founder of Access Bank, his wife & son. He was a visionary and brilliant banker. May God comfort your aged parents, children, the Wigwe family and the staff and management of Access Bank. You will be greatly missed.
