“We find the need to follow up on an initial invitation asking Bwari to participate at the trade fair ground with products from the council.
“We believe that there’s economic potential in Bwari Area Council and so, this is an avenue for them to showcase these potential that will probably get international recognition.
“Foods like yam are in the international markets and are from other African countries, so this is one of the avenues for Bwari to sell themselves to the world with the gift of their natural resources.”
Ms Mary Ishaya, the Head of Personnel in the council, who represented the Chairman of the council, Mr John Gabaya, said that the council would not hesitate to take the opportunity to its advantage.
