President Yoweri Museveni has directed the Northern Uganda Social Action Fund (NUSAF) to construct a secondary school in Koboko district in the memory of the late Attorney General, Francis Ayume.
Ayume, who was also the MP for Koboko, died in a car accident at Migyera in Nakasongola district on his way back to Kampala from Masindi in May 2004.
Addressing the district leaders at Hotpot Hotel in Koboko town on Tuesday, the Minister of State for Northern Uganda Rehabilitation, David Wakikona, said the school would be in recognition of Ayume’s contribution to the country.
The chief administrative officer, Ismail Onzu, said they plan to construct the school near Ayume’s burial place at Laiko, about 6km off the Arua-Koboko road in Midia sub-county.
“We gave the NUSAF management unit a proposal worth sh90m, but we have not yet received the funds.â€
He said the money would put up two classrooms, a science laboratory, library and administrative offices.
