SBC – a joint venture between UK company Colas and local company SBI Uganda – has formally presented its proposal for the Kabaale International Airport project to the Ministry of Works and Transport which is expected to offer immediate benefits in facilitating the movement of materials and manpower for the development of the oil sector in Hoima District, and the Western Uganda region in general.<\/p>\n

The SBC team submitted its proposal to the Ugandan Minister for Works and Transport, Hon. Monica Azuba Ntege, in the presence of Uganda\u2019s Attorney General, William Byaruhanga and the British Deputy High Commissioner Mary Shockledge.<\/p>\n

At the event, Deputy High Commissioner Mary Shockledge stressed the importance the UK government attaches to supporting UK companies operating in developing markets such as Uganda.<\/p>\n

Following its submission of the proposal, SBC gave a brief presentation.\u00a0Other than the immediate benefits to the oil sector in Hoima District, in the longer term it is expected there will be wider benefits for the development of tourism and agriculture in the region.<\/p>\n

The Hoima International Airport Development project is expected to cost\u00a0$250 Million[+\/- 30%].<\/p>\n
