Lands Minister, Judith Nabakooba has cautioned graduates against indulging in money wasting such as gambling and womanizing that drain people’s incomes and make them poor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister made the call during the 9th graduation ceremony of Royal Institute of Business and Technical Education, Bwaise where she graced the occasion as the guest of honor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nabakooba noted that such vices among youth derail their efforts to alleviate poverty and end up being a danger to society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProtect yourselves from HIV\/AIDS and learn how to appreciate and be contented with the little that you have. It is better to earn less faithfully with integrity than becoming rich with ill-gotten wealth,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To elevate their living standards, the minister advised the youths to form groups and embrace government programmes and get money to start their own businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cForm groups, work together, develop projects because when you are in a group, you can move faster and you have very many ideas that can work out than working as an individual. Together you can shield yourselves from the storm but also from the shocks of starting a business alone,\u201d she advised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

266 students from different disciplines were conferred with national certificates and diplomas in catering, cosmetology, mechanical engineering, journalism and media studies among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister lauded the institute\u2019s management for supporting the government in training youths for a better sustainable future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am happy that you have largely sent out a group that has more job creators than job seekers. At such a critical time when the cost of living is a bit high and you have done it at affordable cost with the relevant quality vocational education. You have supported the government\u2019s strategy of supporting the youths irrespective of their religions, gender, tribes or race.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nabakooba pledged government support towards the institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI wish to commit on behalf of the government to lobby that you get supported to ensure competence based learning and providing machinery.\u201d  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe therefore thank the Royal Institute that has supported the government to train youths in all these lifelong skills. Thank you for being a key partner of the government\u2019s agenda. Uganda has always looked and learned from countries such as Japan and China where skills have made their nationals to be self-sustaining and reliant.\u201d she added<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr John Lubega, the Royal Institute director asked the graduates to put the knowledge they have acquired into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou are now ready for the world. I want you to surface all the challenges and innovate new ideas that will benefit our country using the knowledge you have acquired,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Geoffrey Kawanguzi, an official from UBTEB regretted to note that many schools still engage in exam malpractices that led to the cancelation of results for 58 students.\u201cWhen we get you in any activities of malpractice, we cancel all your exams for that semester,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
