Kyankwanzi, Uganda: Commissioner for Ideological Orientation and Patriotism, Hellen Seku, has been widely commended for her exceptional leadership in overseeing the rehabilitation and reintegration of Ugandan returnees at the National Leadership Institute (NALI) Kyankwanzi.
Under her guidance, the rehabilitation programme has focused on equipping returnees with patriotism, national values, civic responsibility, and practical life skills aimed at helping them successfully reintegrate into their communities. The initiative seeks to restore hope among Ugandans who returned home after facing difficult circumstances abroad.
Participants in the programme have praised Commissioner Seku for her hands-on leadership, dedication, and compassionate approach, describing the training as life-changing. Through interactive sessions on ideology, patriotism, entrepreneurship, and personal development, many returnees say they have gained renewed confidence and a sense of belonging.
Commissioner Seku has consistently emphasized the importance of patriotism, discipline, self-reliance, and national unity, encouraging the returnees to become ambassadors of peace and development in their respective communities.
Her efforts have also received recognition from senior government leaders. During a recent visit to NALI Kyankwanzi, Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja applauded Commissioner Seku and the entire training team for their commitment to rehabilitating the returnees. The Prime Minister noted that the programme is playing a vital role in rebuilding lives and supporting the government’s agenda of empowering citizens.
The rehabilitation programme has been implemented through the combined efforts of the Office of the Prime Minister, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and other government agencies working to ensure the safe return and successful reintegration of Ugandans from abroad.

Observers say Commissioner Hellen Seku’s commitment and professionalism have made the Kyankwanzi programme a model for rehabilitation, inspiring participants to embrace positive values, contribute to national development, and rebuild their futures with dignity and purpose.
As Uganda continues to support the reintegration of its returning citizens, Commissioner Hellen Seku’s work at NALI Kyankwanzi stands out as an example of dedicated public service and a strong commitment to nurturing patriotic, productive, and responsible citizens.
