Ojuka who holds a Bachelor’s degree in Agriculture, his manifesto focuses on Education, Health, Agriculture, and Infrastructure as key areas of concern.
Other issues that Ojuka has also prioritized is the poor state of roads and bridges, lack of electricity, inadequate medical facilities, and the need for better learning environments and teacher training.
He plans to collaborate with the education department in the district and organize seminars for teachers to improve the quality of education in Dokolo South.
