Luwero, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | The National Information Technology Authority-Uganda has embarked on setting up a regional business process outsourcing center in Luwero town council.

The National Information Technology Authority-Uganda has so far laid 4,000 kilometers of fiber optic cables across the country.

Rosemary Namayanja, the Deputy Secretary for National Resistance Movement said that the ICT hub is within the party manifesto to increase productivity among young people.
