President Yoweri Museveni has cautioned national patriotism coordinators against reckless lifestyles if they\u2019re to make meaningful contributions to their country.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a Patriot you should endeavor to take care of yourself by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This helps you to develop your full potential in order to make a meaningful contribution to your Country,\u201d Museveni said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President also urged the Patriotism Coordinators to abstain from reckless habits like alcoholism, substance abuse, and sexual promiscuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made the remarks in a statement read for him by the Vice President Maj. (Rtd) Jessica Alupo during the pass-out of 170 national patriotism regional, cities and district coordinators at the Oliver Tambo Leadership School at Kaweweta in Nakaseke district. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized that the above habits are very harmful and can ruin lives of patriotism coordinators across the country.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

He continued to urge the patriots to be ambassadors of the NRM\u2019s message on wealth creation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur message, regarding the socio-economic transformation of Uganda, is that there are four sectors in the economy, where individuals, families and companies, can create jobs and wealth, to guarantee their prosperity,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The four sectors are: commercial agriculture, services, industries and ICT. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He noted that through the wealth creation funds and campaigns, the NRM government has been mobilizing the people of Uganda, to select profitable enterprises, in any of the above four sectors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The president said the government has put in place the necessary conditions to ensure the profitability of the enterprises i.e., the good roads, electricity, peace and security; integration of the Ugandan market to the regional, African and international markets; pursuing policies that favour the private sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, these economic advantages, that the NRM has created, must be translated into jobs and wealth for the households, in order for this development to be meaningful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Parish Development Model and the wealth funds, are aimed at increasing the number of wealth creators engaged in production, in the four sectors of: commercial agriculture, industries, services and ICT.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

He finally told the coordinators that as they talk about Patriotism (love for Uganda), they should also work for Pan-Africanism (love for Africa). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized that it is Pan-Africanism that can guarantee our prosperity and strategic security, on a larger scale. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The economic integration of Africa gives us access to the bigger African market of 1.2 billion people, hence supporting our efforts to expand the economy of Uganda. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He congratulated the National Patriotism Coordinators, for successfully completing the training at the Leadership School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training was aimed at exposing leaders to the core values and principles of revolutionary governance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commissioner for National Secretariat for Patriotism Hellen Seku said Patriotism training is key because it teaches you to prioritize your Country, above self. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps you to put national interests before the sectarian interests of your tribe, religions, and regions among others.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said this explains why Patriotism is one of the core principles of the National Resistance Movement. You must love Uganda and also protect the environment, which surrounds you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commandant of Oliver Tambo Leadership School thanked president Museveni for spearheading the introduction of patriotism clubs in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
