President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is set to lunch a multi-Million Dollar Sukulu Phosphate Comprehensive Industrial Development project in Tororo today.

The Factories will produce organic fertilizers, steel, glass, and cement.

The Project is estimated to employ over 2500 People.

Museveni has in the recent past commissioned a number of factories, with the president saying Uganda experiencing an industrial explosion because of the surplus electricity which the country is generating. The President said this while commissioning the Saachi electronic appliances assembling factory in Ntinda.

“These factories are coming up because we dealt with the problem of electricity,” Mr Museveni said, adding that more factories are coming to create jobs for Ugandans.

In 2016 campaigns, the President promised to industrialise Uganda to create the jobs for the youth and accelerate development.
