Ykee Benda, the multifaceted artist known for his chart-topping hits and dynamic stage presence, is not just a MusicMan and CEO of Mpaka Ent Group, but also a visionary director at Golden High School with a profound dedication to nurturing the potential of Uganda’s youth. His tireless efforts to empower young minds recently caught the attention of none other than Anita Annet Among, the esteemed Speaker of the Parliament of the Republic of Uganda.
In a recent statement shared on social media platform X, Speaker Among expressed her admiration for Ykee Benda’s commitment to education and community development. She revealed that she had engaged in a productive conversation with Wyclif Tugume, also known as Ykee Benda, who serves as one of the directors of Golden High School Nsagu. This institution stands out for its integrated creative and performing arts curriculum, as well as its dedication to providing bursaries to underprivileged students within the Kajjansi community.
Tugume’s passion for education and social impact extends beyond his musical career. As a trained chemical engineer and accomplished musician, he has leveraged his platform to make a tangible difference in the lives of young people in Uganda. Through Golden High School, he aims to equip students with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed in an ever-changing world.
During their conversation, Speaker Among pledged her support for Golden High School, committing to visit the institution and assist in the construction of a boys’ dormitory. Additionally, she expressed her gratitude to Tugume and his team for honoring her by naming the girls’ dormitory after her—an acknowledgment of her dedication to promoting education and empowerment for girls across Uganda.
Ykee Benda’s dedication to education and community development serves as an inspiring example of the positive impact that artists can have beyond the stage. By investing in the next generation and providing opportunities for academic and artistic growth, he is helping to shape a brighter future for Uganda.
As Ykee Benda continues to lead by example, his unwavering commitment to education and empowerment serves as a beacon of hope for young people across Uganda. Through his efforts, he is not only transforming lives but also inspiring others to join him in creating a more inclusive and prosperous society for all.
