Kwania Resident District Commissioner Mr. Arikwanga Richard Noon has urged young people in Lango sub-region to desist from overconsumption of alcohol.

Speaking yesterday Saturday during the official launch of Bruno’s night club in Aduku town council, Kwania district, Mr. Arikwanga said it is ridiculous for the youth to do nothing but gather in trading centers to gossip, smoke marijuana and drink excessively, a vice that he says has totally ruined the lives of young people in the region.

Arikwanga enquired youth to stop excessive alcohol consumption, engaging in violence and other criminal activities that ruin their future.

Geoffrey Okello, the Aduku Town Council Internal Security Officer (GISO) asked the security personnel at Bruno’s night club to always be very vigilant in ensuring that peace and security is guaranteed even at a social joint.

Okello Brunos, the proprietor of Bruno’s night club Aduku said the management of Bruno’s is committed to providing the modern entertainment center not only for the people of Kwania but the entire Lango sub-region.

According to the 2023 report released by the global health body, on average, a Ugandan consumes 12.21 litres of pure alcohol annually.

Men consume more than women with an average of 19.93 litres of pure alcohol annually compared to 4.88 litres for women.
