Speaking at the handover of the plan at Bulange, Mengo, Ms Kimbugwe said the centre will nature the young generation through character formation, mentorship and leadership development, harmonising positive traditional and modern values, among other things.
The Nnabagereka, Sylvia Nagginda, said the plan was designed by a Makerere University’s department of Architect student, Mr James Kalyango.
“In a bid to promote local talent, local construction firms will be considered first,” she said.
