St Mary’s College Kisubi Students Tipped On Being Productive Citizens

The Commander of 16 Service Brigade, Special Forces Command (SFC), Lieutenant Colonel Frank Murema, has urged students of St Mary’s College Kisubi to embrace patriotism, discipline and productivity as they prepare to contribute to Uganda’s future development.

Lt Col Murema made the call while addressing the students during a lecture on national power, where he outlined five key elements that underpin a nation’s strength: diplomacy, information and intelligence, the military, the economy and the population.

He explained that strong diplomatic relations promote international cooperation, reliable information and intelligence support informed decision-making, while a professional military safeguards national security and territorial integrity.

Drawing lessons from Uganda’s development journey and comparing it with China’s experience, Lt Col Murema stressed the importance of education in equipping young people with the skills, knowledge and values required to drive national development.
