“At this age of S.4, S.6 i don’t expect a student not to be sure what they want to be in future, when you choose what you want to be as early as now it becomes so easy for you to be focused because you have a cause, so there is any one who hasn’t defined what they would want to be in terms of profession you are very wrong but not late, please better do now” Bishop Ateirweho advised
The event attracted local communities and leaders, bishop Ateirweho urged christians to embrace coffee farming even at the school so that students while at school can get some skills of farming.
“I see the school has some land, so it is better that we practice coffee and other agricultural things, because agriculture is the backbone of our country even the educated are doing farming so when these students leave school with some skill of farming it is better, but mostly to christians please endeavor to do coffee, you see these coffee they don't need a lot of caring, go plant, do some weeding and leave they will grow and after some years you will be harvesting year in year out, besides coffee you can also do cocoa, cashew nuts among other crops” He said
The bishop who used his earlier experience cautioned students against promiscuity, indecent dressing, drunkenness and smoking which he says will ruin their future career.
“I want to tell you i used to drink, i loved women and would dress the way i want but i gained nothing and my name was only getting spoilt, but when i accepted jesus and got saved, here im as the bishop of Bunyoro Kitara diocese, if you asked that i knew i wild be a bishop one day, the answer no but im because i got saved and abandoned bad things, like alcohol, smoking women and all that” Bishop Ateirweho cautioned students
Patrick Chance Patrick the Head teacher Naigana government sec. The school says the 60-year-Old highly enrolled historical school lacks a school bus after the schools’ truck was taken during the bush war in 1985.
He further notes that only 13 teachers are on government payroll out of over 40 teachers seeking government intervention.
“Indeed you can calculate since 1985 we don't have a school truck but we badly need one as the oldest school in the region, hope bishop you can add a voice to government so that we get one for easy movement of students and staff for field work and other movements” Chance said
“Besides, despite being traditional and having produced a lot of responsible people we only have 13 teachers on government payroll out of the 40 we have, this makes the work of teaching hard, we pray government can consider taking up these teachers on government payroll” He implored
