EACOP in partnership with Hoima City, has today (26th February 2026) officially handed over the newly constructed Nyamasoga–Katooke Road under its Socio-Economic Investment (SEI) Programme.
The 7.5-kilometre marram road, located in Buseruka Sub-County, Hoima District, connects the villages of Kayera and Katooke, serving approximately 6,500 residents across more than 600 households. The road provides a vital link to the Kaiso–Tonya Highway, significantly improving connectivity to key trading centres such as Nyamasoga and Buseruka.
This initiative was implemented in response to a community need submitted by Hoima District leadership to improve transport and accessibility in the area. Previously in poor condition and often impassable by vehicles, the rehabilitated road is expected to enhance trade, improve access to markets, health facilities, schools, and other essential services, while boosting economic activity in the region.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, our Deputy Managing Director, JB Habumugisha, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to sustainable community development: “EACOP remains committed to ensuring that the communities along the pipeline route benefit from improved infrastructure and social services. This road project demonstrates our dedication to supporting local development priorities in partnership with government authorities.”
Mugisha Uthuman Mubaraka Kadiri, District Chairperson for Hoima District, expressed his appreciation for EACOP’s continued collaboration and investment in community infrastructure, noting that such initiatives are instrumental in advancing local development and improving the quality of life for residents.
The road was officially handed over to the District Chairperson during a ceremony held at Katooke Trading Centre. The event was attended by the area Member of Parliament, Local Councillors, the Chief Administrative Officer, other district leaders, and members of the community.
Through its SEI Programme, EACOP continues to invest in projects that create long-term value and shared prosperity for communities along the pipeline corridor.
