NMG partners with gov’t to create more jobs

The Office of the President, in collaboration with the State House Industrial Hubs, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Insurance Training College, has partnered with Nation Media Group Uganda to launch the 2025 Youth Skills Festival at Makerere University. During the festival, young people presented their innovative pitches, competing for cash prizes starting from 1,500 US dollars. Africa is optimistic that through these startups, more job creators will be developed, thereby reducing the number of job seekers. This is crucial, as unemployment remains a significant challenge in Uganda. Hajara Batuuka, the Head of Marketing at Nation Media Group Uganda, stated that the next goal is to impact 10,000 youths. Additionally, next year, the initiative will expand from Kampala to other regions
