President commissions new facilities at Asinge SSS President Yoweri Musveni has commissioned new structures at Asinge Senior Secondary in Kwapa Sub-county Tororo County with a call to students of the school to concentrate on their studies and completely shun bad habits that could end their lives prematurely. In the book of Ecclesiastes, there is a part that says there is time for everything. You are now at school, dont become a husband or wife. Concentrate on your studies first; the rest will come later. Now that you have got new buildings, I appeal to you to concentrate on your studies. Dont let down your parents, he counseled students of the school. The President commissioned the administrative block and a storied facility that houses 2 science laboratories, classrooms and a library and pledged to construct teachers houses in the future. The new facilities, worth Shs.1.3 billion, were constructed by the Government of Uganda with the assistance of the World Bank. President Museveni also asked the students to help their parents now that they are on holidays; do sports, be spiritual, love God and look after themselves by avoiding the HIV/AIDS scourge. Addressing himself to the parents who were part of the gathering, President Museveni advised them to embark on commercial farming now that they are going to have a big factory in their their proximity where they can sell their produce and earn money. I have just launched a big industrial centre at Sukuru. There will be factories that will attract many people who will bring a lot of business. For those in agriculture, this is the opportunity to grow onions, tomatoes, fruits, rear Friesian cows for milk and also pigs so that you benefit from those industries. Roads are going to be worked on, so the area is going to have a lot of opportunity. Do something that you can also sell, he advised the people of Kwapa Sub-County. Earlier, President Museveni, who pledged to provide the school with transport, was glad to meet one Salume who used to make tea for him in the area during the struggle to get rid of the Idi Amin regime. I was here in 1971/72 at night going to the border. Salume made tea for me. I am happy to be here in Asinge. And I have found you, too, happy, he said. The function was attended by the Minister of Education and Sports, Hon. Jessica Alupo, the Minister of State for Health
