The recent signings - from the production licenses to the front-end engineering design - have reinvigorated the oil industry. The risk of this hope turning into hype remains high if the logistics industry - the grease needed to run Uganda's oil machines - is neglected. That is why the logistics industry remains an important player in determining the future of the oil industry. The logistics industry, and especially the Uganda Freight Forwarders Association (UFFA), is passionate about turning Uganda into the main logistics hub for the region. We are expecting investors to offer the kind of recommendations that can build the logistics industry in the face of a reborn oil industry and renewed government commitment towards other modes of transport such as rail and air.
