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

Over 130,000 residents who have been living in fear of eviction for more than 30 years after allegedly illegally occupying land belonging to Kyaka I refugee settlement in Kyaka South County, Kyegegwa District, feel relieved after President Museveni on Saturday rescinded his earlier decision to eject them to pave way for the construction of an industrial park and an avocado farm.

Meeting the affected residents at Sooba Primary School in Kogoma Village, Rwentuha Sub-county, Kyegegwa District, Mr Museveni acknowledged that although the residents did not follow the correct procedures to occupy the land, he decided to allow them to stay.

However, he argued that by allowing the residents to stay they would miss the economic opportunity the industrial park would have brought to the area.

"Let me leave you people of Kazinga Town Council and Rwentuha Sub-county to stay on your land now," the President said, as the crowd erupted in cheers, clapping, dancing, and jumping in celebration.
