Museveni handed Nsekanabo 12 million shillings in cash and pledged to give him a double-cabin car to aid his farming endeavors.
In his speech, Nsekanabo thanked Museveni for recognizing his work as a farmer and visiting his home.
He noted that he has developed significantly since receiving one cow from Operation Wealth Creation in 2016, which has enabled him to pay school fees for his children by selling milk daily. Nsekanabo now has eight cows, attributing his success to proper animal care.
Nsekanabo urged residents to participate in agriculture to combat poverty.
On the same tour, Museveni handed one million shillings to ten women who benefited from the PDM, to support their continued progress.
