H.E. Amb. Lt. Gen. Philip Idro, the Principal Advisor to Gen. Caleb Akandwanaho Salim Saleh, the Chief Coordinator of Operation Wealth Creation and Special Advisor to H.E. the President of the Republic of Uganda on Defence and Military Affairs (CCOWC/SPAD), delivered a special message on behalf of Gen. Saleh to congregation members during a holy mass held at the Good Shepherd Cathedral in the Kotido Catholic Diocese, Kotido District, on January 11, 2025.

Gen. Idro led a high-powered delegation from the government of Uganda’s Operation Wealth Creation (OWC) to inspect available facilities and evaluate their viability for the initial establishment of the Karamoja Peace and Technology University (KAPATU) Project. This project is headquartered at Christ the King Catholic Parish in Losilang, Kotido District.

The message reassured that Gen. Saleh would continue to support the KAPATU Project, highlighting the university’s potential to transform the Karamoja Sub-region concerning peace, education, health, and, most importantly, commercial agriculture, which is part of the OWC’s mandate.
