Nakibuvo Redevelopment Project
The iconic Stadium is being developed by Uganda’s youngest city Businessman Hamis Kiggundu (Ham), who says it won’t be just a stadium in the country’s capital Kampala, but rather a legacy to stay and develop the sports industry in the country.
As read this , the construction of a multi-billion stadium has enters the crucial phase after the completion of the 40,000-capacity seating area.
“We are on track to not only complete the work in the shortest time possible, but also make a statement about our capacity as Ugandans to do the best,” Ham said.
Ham , who is also an author said the only way to pull Africa out of poverty to prosperity is for the Africans to accept it as their responsibility and obligation.
‘’The stadium project equally makes business sense with incomes since it has commercial premises attached and from a realistic and reasonable point of view this is not just a stadium but a legacy and clear illustration to all Ugandans that if Uganda is to develop it’s our responsibility as Ugandans to develop our motherland,” Ham added.
