Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | In another initiative aimed at transforming Uganda’s transport sector by promoting accessible and sustainable electric mobility solutions, Spiro Uganda and the Union Sports Club have launched a sports partnership ahead of the nationwide Boda Boda Football League. The league aims at empowering riders and strengthening community engagement across Uganda.
