The latter will house classrooms, administration offices, and laboratories, and is valued at Shs 950 million. All works have been awarded to Geses Uganda Limited.
Speaking to our reporter on Wednesday evening, the Rubanda District LC5 Chairperson, Stephen Ampeire Kasyaba, said additional projects are set for commissioning, including a girls’ dormitory at St Charles Lwanga Secondary School on Thursday, as well as a three-classroom block at Nyamuriro Primary School.
Kasyaba emphasized the importance of close supervision to ensure quality and timely completion of the works.
He said the engineer has been instructed to ensure proper supervision of the works and to prepare Bills of Quantities (BOQs) for distribution to user communities so that they are fully aware of the required materials, including the quality and quantity of sand, cement ratios, and other inputs to be used in the construction works.
He further encouraged the community to remain vigilant and actively monitor the projects to ensure they progress well and are completed within the agreed timeframe, urging them to embrace and appreciate the government projects as they are intended to benefit them.
