Moderated by Bukedde newspaper managing editor, Michael Sebowa, Lule recounted his humble beginnings, describing how he once operated with only a two-kilogram packet of wheat flour - a far cry from the 200 metric tonnes his enterprise now produces.
This remarkable transformation, he said, was built not only on persistence and skill but also on mutual understanding at home.
“You cannot grow without acceptance and support from your spouse. Today’s women don’t want surprises; they want agreement and transparency,” he emphasised.
Leaving his seat, he took over the podium to drive his message home with passion. This is when he switched to the discipline required to build and sustain wealth.
