In Northern Uganda, dance is more than entertainment , it is identity, culture, history and pride passed down through generations.

We are slowly turning @ugandamediacent into a fully fledged production hub.

In a few months we will be able to create world class content.

We have an open door policy for young people who’d like to get involved in telling a good Ugandan story.

Today at Nakasero, I met Mr. Aliko Dangote and we discussed the proposed East African regional refinery.

I informed him that from the very beginning, we have always opposed the export of raw materials without value addition. That is why Uganda delayed oil production because we insisted on first having a refinery. Without refining our oil, it would not make economic or strategic sense to simply export crude oil while others benefit from the finished products.

I, therefore, welcomed the idea of a bigger regional refinery because our objective is African integration and shared prosperity. We cannot continue operating as fragmented and weak markets. If East Africa works together, such projects become more viable and beneficial to our people.
Uganda is ready to support the regional refinery initiative while also continuing with the development of our own refinery in Hoima.

Honored to be part for the prestigious USA🇺🇸 International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) @StateIVLP on "Advancing an Open and Secure Digital Economy" following my nomination by the @USEmbassyUganda

Day 1 in Washington, D.C. offered a meaningful introduction not just to the capital, but to the values, history, and global leadership it represents.
From iconic landmarks to powerful institutions, it set the tone for what promises to be a transformative journey of learning, exchange, and connection.

I look forward to engaging, learning and sharing insights along the way, and ultimately translating these experiences into meaningful impact back home in Uganda 🇺🇬 @IVLPUganda #IVLP #GlobalLeadership #DigitizeUG

[Winnie Kiiza @WinnieKiiza]

Well, atleast we agree on this. I’ve consistently appealed to Min. @BalaamBarugahar and Amb. @adoniaayebare to support emerging or young diplomats.

[Kigali International Financial Centre @Kigali_IFC]

At #IFF2026, the Deal Room - organized by KIFC in partnership with the African Management Institute (@africamanager), brought together a curated group of fintech startups and connected them with venture capital, private equity, institutional investors, and banks to explore concrete investment opportunities.

In his remarks, @JKananura, Chief Investment Officer at KIFC, emphasized the need to move from conversations to capital. He highlighted Rwanda’s ambition to position itself as a platform where innovators can access investors, structure deals, and scale across Africa.

Alongside startup pitches, the program also included masterclasses designed to strengthen founders’ investment readiness and engagement with investors.

[Timothy Kalyegira @TimKalyegira]

In 1975, school fees per term at Ntare School in Mbarara were 250 shillings.

I saw this on my uncle's fee slip.

Adjusted for inflation, 250 shillings of 1975 is about 38,000 shillings in 2026.

When we say life is very expensive today, it's not just grumbling.

It really is.

[Kigali International Financial Centre @Kigali_IFC]

🚀 The wait is over - #IFF2026 has kicked off!

Kigali now becomes the stage where global leaders, founders, investors, and policymakers converge to exchange ideas, build partnerships, and reimagine the future of finance.

Expect thought-provoking discussions, bold ideas, and innovations redefining how finance supports people and economies.
