Njeru and Jinja Communities Usher in 2025 with Grand Celebrations
Fireworks lit the skies of Njeru at the stroke of midnight

The New Year celebrations in Njeru Municipality in Buikwe District and Jinja were nothing short of spectacular as residents, alongside the Indian community, ushered in 2025 with events filled with joy, generosity, and spiritual devotion.

The Indian community in Njeru set the tone for the festivities, transforming the Njeru Technical Centre into a lively hub of activity.

The event featured a blend of Indian and local music, uniting attendees in dance and jubilation until the early hours of the morning.

At the clock approached midnight, a countdown built the anticipation, culminating in a breathtaking fireworks display that lit up the night sky, eliciting cheers and applause from the crowd.

In a heartfelt gesture of gratitude, the Indian community distributed various electronic devices, including refrigerators, television sets, and fans, to factory workers in recognition of their dedication and outstanding performance throughout 2024.

One of the organizers remarked, "This event is about giving back to the community and celebrating the hard work that has driven our progress together."

Meanwhile, Christians in Jinja gathered for overnight prayers at the Narambhai Road Primary School playground.

Led by Bishop Zachary Sserwadda of the Evangel Churches in Uganda, the faithful engaged in heartfelt praise and worship as they reflected on the year gone by and sought blessings for 2025.

In his sermon, Bishop Sserwadda emphasized the biblical directive for humanity to "be fruitful and multiply," urging Christians to embrace family values and work towards community growth and prosperity in the new year.

“The new year is a time for renewal,” he said. “Let us build stronger families, strengthen our faith, and take dominion over the opportunities God has placed before us.”

The New Year festivities in characterised fireworks  which illuminated the skies and prayers filled the night, residents welcomed 2025 with hope, gratitude, and a renewed commitment to collective progress.
