NRM Party Commits to Free Education and Wealth Creation Initiatives

Addressing a mammoth crowd during a presidential campaign rally at Celecelea Stadium in Moyo District on Friday October 17, 2025, pledged to make education in government schools completely free and to expand wealth creation initiatives aimed at transforming households into active players in Uganda’s money economy. 

 The President said the next phase of the NRM government will focus on ensuring that no child is denied education because of school fees and that every family participates in income-generating activities. Mr.Museveni further noted that while Uganda has registered great strides in development — including new roads, electricity, and social services — many people still confuse development with wealth. 

He recalled that the NRM began advocating for household income generation in the 1960s and was often misunderstood. President Museveni cited his four-acre model demonstration farm in the Lango Sub-region as what he means whenever he talkshow about wealth creation, where he earns UGX 100 million from one fishpond, as proof that small-scale farmers can create wealth with proper planning. The disclosed to the People of Moyo at his campaign rally that his government intends to turn the Nile Valley into a major fish farming zone, saying, 

“Not in the Nile itself, but along the sides and swamps.” and thanked the people of Moyo for their unwavering support to the NRM, describing them as “long-standing comrades” in the struggle for peace and prosperity. The President used the same rally to pay tribute to the family of the late Moses Abiriga, one of the NRM’s earliest mobilizers in the region. He reminded the gathering that peace, which Uganda now enjoys, is the foundation of all progress."

“Before Independence, Uganda was always at war, but since 2007, the NRM stopped all those conflicts. Peace is not by accident. It’s because we rejected the politics of sectarianism and gender chauvinism. Sectarian politics is suicidal,” he said. The Moyo District NRM Chairperson, Mr. Ayanyama Williams, thanked the President for implementing transformative programs like the Parish Development Model (PDM), which he said has already improved livelihoods in the district. 

He also thanked the government for supporting Moyo Technical Institute and appealed for its upgrade to a diploma and degree-awarding institution. Mr. Ayanyama further appreciated the ongoing road construction projects and urged continued investment in infrastructure and education to sustain growth in Moyo. 

 At the same event, President Museveni, who is also the NRM National Chairman, welcomed 114 Forum for Democratic Change (FDC) members and 64 National Unity Platform (NUP) members who defected to the NRM.
