Most of Uganda’s billionaires class are importers unlike Dr Sudhir Ruparelia whose economic activities either boost our local economy or scale our exports.
The problem of having more importers in the country than exporters is another liberation tadk which President Yoweri Kaguta Museven started to embark on long ago through mass sensitization and awareness of Ugandans mostly Bagagga Kwagalana group, but also building capacity to support import substitution and exports.
Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa.It is also the second fresh water lake in the world,but with limited economic opportunities to boost the economy of the East African region.
The opening of Paradise Island resort on 1st December, 2026 in lake Victoria by Dr Sudhir Ruparelia is a celebration marking a new milestone in Uganda hospitality services which is going to unlock more job opportunities.
Sustainable development of lake Victoria involves diversification of economic activities such as 5 star hotel facilities like Paradise Island resort in order not to drain the lake through fishing alone.
