Officials from Vivo Energy Uganda, the company that distributes and markets Shell-branded fuels and lubricants in Uganda have emphasized the need for motorists to use quality fuels.
This was during a function on Saturday where Vivo honoured 30 more drivers during the sixth week of its ongoing Omunene W’ekkubo campaign.
This was during a function held at Shell Banda where drivers walked away with fuel worth Shs200,000, Shell Gas, and premium Shell Rimula lubricants.
Now at its halfway point, the three-month campaign continues to recognise Uganda’s taxi, truck, and bus drivers who rely on Shell FuelSave Diesel to power their journeys safely and efficiently. Week by week, their dedication is rewarded.
In addition to this week’s 30 main winners, 10 drivers received 6kg Shell Gas cylinders, while another 10 were awarded 10-litre packs of Shell Rimula demonstrating the campaign’s commitment to value beyond the pump.
“Drivers keep Uganda connected, not just through transport, but through trade, families, and communities. At Vivo Energy, we don’t take that for granted. This campaign is our way of recognising their everyday impact, and giving something meaningful back,” said Mark Mutungi, Brand Manager - Fuels, Vivo Energy Uganda.
The campaign spans all four regions of Uganda: Central, Eastern, Northern and Western, ensuring drivers from across the country can take part.
Weekly and instant prizes include fuel vouchers, airtime, Shell Gas, lubricants, and branded merchandise. It will conclude in a grand draw where two lucky winners will drive away in brand new Toyota Hiace Drone vans.
Joanita Menya Mukasa, Managing Director of Vivo Energy Uganda, reaffirmed the company’s deeper investment in the sector:
“Drivers are at the heart of our economy. Through this campaign and our work with the Uganda Taxi Operators Federation, we’re combining practical support with long-term impact from safer roads and better infrastructure to health outreach and skills development.”
Officials from Vivo Energy said that by using quality fuels, motorists save money that would go towards fuel but also clean the vehicle engine.
