Museveni to Preside Over Heroes’ Day Celebrations at State House

At least 30 people have been invited to celebrate the 31st National Heroes’ Day at State House, Entebbe.

According to Hon Esther Mbayo, the Minister for Presidency, President Yoweri Museveni will preside over this year’s Heroes’ Day celebration scientifically at State House at 11 am.

“Unlike the previous ones, this year’s anniversary will be held in a scientific way without any public gatherings across the country as we observe the COVID-19 Special Operating Procedures,” Mbayo said, adding that only 30 people will accompany the President for the celebrations at State House.

Minister Mbayo urged Ugandans to celebrate this historical day from their homes and observe safety in this COVID-19 period.

Every year, Uganda celebrates Heroes Day to commemorate countrymen and countrywomen who have selflessly contributed to the liberation struggle and development of this country.

This year’s theme is: “Celebrating a memorable day as we reflect on the selflessness of the heroes/heroines who put nation above all else.”
