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

The Uganda People’s Defence Force (UPDF) has begun fencing off the land designated for the National Military Museum project in preparation for construction.

The UPDF has secured a total of 24.3 acres near the River Katonga Bridge on the Kampala-Masaka highway in Ggolo Sub-County, Mpigi District, for this multibillion-shilling historical facility.

The project had previously stalled due to delayed funding and challenges in acquiring sufficient land. Initially, the UPDF had only two acres, but the need for more space prompted the government to purchase additional land.

According to Col Deo Akiiki, the UPDF deputy public information officer, all affected persons have been fully compensated, and construction will commence soon.

“Everyone has been compensated and vacated the land. The Special Forces Command (SFC) Engineering Regiment has started constructing the perimeter wall around the entire site in preparation for the actual building,” he stated during an interview on Saturday.
