Mr Johusa Mandela Ekol is son to an academician, Dr Engineer Wana Etyem who was a former chairperson Makerere University governing council.
Ekol, on Friday donated one ton of maize flour to Lira district youths structure in a bid to help them cope with life during the current partial lockdown because of the COVID -19 pandemic.
The northern youth MP hopeful handed over his donation to youth leaders at Uganda Technical College (UTC) Lira and the Office of the Resident District Commissioner [RDC] Lira, Mr Milton Odongo.
"I am from Barr sub-county, Lira district. I am your own and I have also established Bar Investments Limited. The posho I am donating to you is part of the initiative of Bar Women's Group, another group that I support," Mr Ekol told the youth at UTC Lira.
He also urged the youth to embrace agriculture which is a major source of economic livelihood in northern Uganda and equally asks them to be responsible youth by observing the measures put in place by government to contain COVID -19
Before the distribution, RDC Odongo as usual made a powerful prayer touting his boss, President Museveni and his government for the endless fight against coronavirus and bringing development. He told the youth to vote for NRM in the coming elections.
While handing over the relief posho to the youths, Mr Odongo commended Ekol for supporting his fellow youths at a critical time when many people are starving.
