What do you believe is the single most important factor driving up the cost of living in Nigeria?

President Museveni has commended the outgoing United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) country representative Dr Munir Safieldin for “supporting government programs, especially in the area of health.”

“Dr Safieldin assumed office during the Covid-19 period in 2021 but stood firm to support government’s various programs related to predictions, preparedness, response, surveillance and recovery from the pandemic plus resource mobilization,” the Ugandan leader said in a speech read by the State Minister of Foreign Affairs in charge of Regional Co-operation, John Mulimba.

Museveni said Uganda would specifically remember Dr Safieldin for Unicef’s delivery of 864, 000 doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine via the Covax facility in March 2021.

Further, the president said Unicef and the World Food Programme (WFP) are testament that humanitarian and climate change objectives can be achieved.

“By integrating sustainable practices into our work, we demonstrate that we can foster development without compromising our natural resources as we inaugurate this ecofriendly space today. Together, we can create a lasting legacy built on hope, resilience, and solidarity,” Museveni emphasized on during the official opening ceremony of a $15 million facility that will house Unicef and WFP offices in Kampala.
