President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has urged university student leaders to champion wealth creation, ideological clarity and peaceful leadership, saying young leaders must understand society’s problems and offer solutions rather than embrace dependency.
The President met leaders of the Inter-University Guild Leaders Network at State Lodge, Nakasero, where he challenged them to ground their leadership in analysis, responsibility and productivity.
“Society is like medicine because a doctor looks at a patient and says what is this patient suffering from?” President Museveni said. “That’s what politics should be and even you people should understand what are the problems of your society.”
Drawing from his own student experience, the President said the study of political economy helped him and his peers understand how societies evolve and how leadership should respond to real challenges.
