Minister Bahati revealed that the government is working hard to ensure the factory is established in Rubanda District, noting that the area is rich in iron ore deposits. He added that the government made a commitment to ensure the factory is set up in the district.

“We shall ensure, like we promised, that the iron ore factory is established in Rubanda District,” Minister Bahati stated.

He further emphasised that the factory’s establishment is part of the government’s commitment to promoting economic development in both the region and the country at large.

“The government has been working tirelessly to create a conducive environment for investors and to promote industrialisation. At the Ministry of Industrialisation, where I sit, we work hard to boost the country’s economy, and we contribute 27.2%,” Minister Bahati added.

He also applauded the State Minister of Finance, Henry Musasizi, noting that he and the Rubanda District leadership have worked hard to ensure the district’s development.

The government, through the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Development, imposed a ban on the exportation of iron ore, which had significantly affected the mining sector. The establishment of the factory is, therefore, seen as a major step toward a brighter future for Rubanda District.

With the factory in place, the district is poised to experience rapid economic growth and development. The people of Rubanda are optimistic about the benefits it will bring and are eagerly awaiting its completion.

The establishment of the iron ore factory in Rubanda District marks a major milestone in the region’s economic development.
