The State Minister of Northern Uganda on Friday 22nd revealed that Gulu is the only Northern Uganda district that receives the highest amount of rainfall.
Minister, Grace Freedom Kwiyucwiny made the revelation during Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) run that took place on the 22nd of October 2023.
The run was aimed at creating awareness on promoting environmental conservation and sustainable development.
"Gulu actually receives the highest amount of rainfall in Northern Uganda and you can see by yourself the fertility and so on. And we have had some trees which are very secret to us but also which are very valuable like the shea nuts tree is in Northern Uganda in Otuke, Gulu, West Nile.'' She says.
The minister however called upon the District Local Government and other stakeholders to promote environmental protection, irrigation and tree planting.
