She urged them to stay away from idleness and criminal activities, emphasizing the importance of using platforms like the Bazzukulu Sports Gala to nurture their skills and create avenues for income generation.

“This is just the beginning,” Namyalo assured. “We will continue to organize more inclusive events, including Boxing, Athletics, and Indoor Games, to ensure every Bazzukulu has an opportunity to showcase their talent. This is part of our commitment to improving livelihoods and fulfilling President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni’s directive to bring the youth back to the NRM family.”

Mr. Seth Murari, the National Sports Coordinator at the ONC, praised President Museveni and Hajjat Namyalo for their unwavering support in empowering the youth.

“Through initiatives like this, we are seeing a transformation in the lives of many young people. President Museveni’s vision of a prosperous, peaceful Uganda is being realized, and Hajjat Namyalo’s efforts to engage the youth at the grassroots level are commendable.”
