Many of them come to me. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">20 years of an experiment that has produced over 90% success rate cannot be discountenanced. Parents, through word-of-mouth testimonies, have become the biggest marketers of my specialist institution – SOCA. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, earlier this week, I met with Hope and his parents. He will turn 17 years of age in January 2027. He is freshly out of secondary school. He scored good grades in his WAEC exams (all Bs and Cs), and is primed for a solid career that will take him through the rest of his life. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His parents are well to do. They have grand plans for their brilliant son. In fact, their plan is that with the good grades in his JAMB exams he will soon become a student of Babcock University in Ogun State. Hope had visited the university with them and had done some research about the institution that threatens to turn their dream into a nightmare. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The university does not offer him what is his greatest passion and ambition. He has now told his parents, finally, that he would rather NOT go to school than abandon his ambition to be a professional footballer in Europe! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am not surprised at all about Hope’s defiance. He wants to become a professional football player, period. Except that is on the cards for him, he tells his parents, he is not interested in doing anything or going anywhere. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The parents are completely flabbergasted. They do not know what to do, or where to go to get advise on how to deal with this very serious and disturbing situation. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are not alone in this dilemma. This their  story is replicated in many homes all over the country. Many parents are confronted with a similar situation – Young  boys (and girls these days) dreaming of a life as professional footballers in Europe (or anywhere for that matter), living like Kings and Princes along the fast lane of life, rich, famous, and sometimes powerful! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They see many youngsters chase that dream. They see very few that succeed in the limelight and under spotlights. What they do not see are the vast majority that fall short and do not succeed, that disappear into the abyss. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, this never deters them. They still choose to chase the dream too. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My son recently shocked the hell out of me when I asked him what he would like to be in future. He told me, matter-of-factly, and without the least hesitation – A footballer! I passed out! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My Grandson in the UK is also far gone on that lane, chasing the football dream. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question is: Who will not fall under the spell of what football offers? \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We all watched unprecedented sights of the power of football on television when Arsenal FC became Champions of England and the earth shook; how Spain won the World Cup and the earth shook again; and how Lionel Messi recently retired from football and the earth quaked in celebration. The global crowds were unprecedented. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Football is a phenomenon that has the world in its grip, driving young boys and girls crazy. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, Hope and his parents come to me seeking a way out! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their situation is becoming a major problem in Nigeria. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A few years ago, Godwin Dudu-Orumen and his friends, conducted a research that yielded a shocking result. There are more football academies in Nigeria than there are Churches and Mosques added together. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mushroom academies, weekend academies, institutionalized academies, all are found in every local government, in every nook and cranny, organised teams playing on every available open space, all day long, all year round, all over Nigeria. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every academy has a coach ( trained or not) with local scouts and Kangaroo agents, all looking for the gifted player to take abroad, even to countries like Bangladesh, Thailand, Lebanon, and so on. Nigerian players are heading everywhere in droves in chase of the ultimate dream. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">True, football has grown tremendously as a global enterprise. A successful life in professional footballer now offers a young person great opportunities in an authentic global ecosystem. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That’s why Hope’s parents come to me in the hope that I will have an answer for their dilemma. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We spend an hour in conversation. When they leave after our little talk, everyone appears to be happy. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hope agrees that he is at an age that may be too young for him to head out straight to Europe’s big clubs considering the level of his football and the depth of his football now. He accepts to spend the next 4 years till he is 20\u002F21 getting grounded in education whilst still enjoying maximum opportunity locally or abroad to hone his skills, work on his technics and get grounded in an educational pursuit. My responsibility will be to provide him with the platform to do these things simultaneously. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, his parents shall let him be, and support him maximally to continue to chase his dream! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we are about to round off, a call comes through for me. Another one of my students, not one of the best in football during the past year, but one who knows and accepts that he may never become a ‘Lionel Messi’ but is ready to give his best whilst he completes an academic\u002Fprofessional program at the Hindustani Institute of Science and Technology. He will continue to enjoy his football and at the same time qualify within 4 years on scholarship to become the best medical-support for footballers in the industry! \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emmanuel Danladi, former head boy of SOCA, an average footballer at best, heads to India soon and into the vast football terrain still pursuing a dream in the football ecosystem. \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If he does not get to the stars, he will, at least, land on the moon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The post \u003Ca

The proposed skyscraper is intended to surpass 1,000 metres, overtaking Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (828 metres). While the scale is spectacular, the more revealing story lies in the underlying finance, construction continuity, infrastructure planning, skills development, and the commercial district surrounding the structure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Uganda—where leading local property developers, entrepreneurs, and policymakers are debating generational investment and the value of productive assets—the lessons from Jeddah extend far beyond concrete and steel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-199233\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.watchdoguganda.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FIMG-20261009-WA0032.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.watchdoguganda.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FIMG-20261009-WA0032.jpg 1080w, https:\u002F\u002Fwww.watchdoguganda.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FIMG-20261009-WA0032-768x640.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fwww.watchdoguganda.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FIMG-20261009-WA0032-860x717.jpg 860w, https:\u002F\u002Fwww.watchdoguganda.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FIMG-20261009-WA0032-150x125.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>A Tower Planned to Break Global Records\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeddah Tower—formerly widely known as Kingdom Tower—was conceived as the centrepiece of a massive urban development along the Red Sea, rather than an isolated architectural monument. Plans call for a dynamic mix of residential, office, hospitality, and commercial spaces, anchored by a high-altitude observation facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distinction between planned height and actual construction progress remains crucial. Current industry updates show the structure accelerating rapidly, having recently surpassed Level 118 and reaching approximately 474 metres in height.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this stage, the building remains about 354 metres below the Burj Khalifa. However, its ultimate target of over 1,000 metres would surpass the world record by more than 172 metres—illustrating both the dramatic physical progress already achieved and the formidable engineering challenges still ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>From a 2013 Beginning to a Prolonged Standstill\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Construction originally began in 2013, but the project soon became a high-profile case study in the vulnerability of massive investments. Building work came to a complete halt in early 2018 at roughly 63 storeys due to contractor disputes, labour issues, and broader economic realignments within Saudi Arabia. For years, the unfinished frame remained a conspicuous landmark on the skyline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cfigure id=\"attachment_199232\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-199232\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\u003Cimg decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-199232\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.watchdoguganda.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FIMG-20261009-WA0030.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1054\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.watchdoguganda.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FIMG-20261009-WA0030.jpg 1280w, https:\u002F\u002Fwww.watchdoguganda.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FIMG-20261009-WA0030-768x632.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fwww.watchdoguganda.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FIMG-20261009-WA0030-860x708.jpg 860w, https:\u002F\u002Fwww.watchdoguganda.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2026\u002F10\u002FIMG-20261009-WA0030-150x124.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \u002F>\u003Cfigcaption id=\"caption-attachment-199232\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Businessman Haruna Ssentongo\u003C\u002Ffigcaption>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\u003Cp>A standstill of this magnitude inflicts damage far beyond a developer’s timetable. Contractors face the logistical burden of retaining or replacing specialist engineering teams, heavy machinery deteriorates or requires expensive remobilisation, financing terms shift, and suppliers face severe cash-flow uncertainty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Restarting a megaproject is never as simple as turning the equipment back on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The turning point came when Kingdom Holding Company’s associate, Jeddah Economic Company, contracted Saudi Binladin Group to complete the tower under a SAR 7.2 billion agreement. Concrete-pouring works officially resumed, supported by thousands of workers on-site, pushing completion timelines toward a targeted 2028 finish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For global investors, the decisive lesson is clear: massive financial headline figures mean little without dependable cash flows, controlled procurement, rigorous construction monitoring, and realistic long-term operating economics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Jeddah Economic City: The Wider Commercial Calculation\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tower itself forms only a portion of the broader Jeddah Economic City, a master-planned district spanning 5.3 million square metres. Crucially, the initial development phase prioritized trunk infrastructure—electricity grids, water supply, sewerage systems, flood drainage, and high-speed internet connectivity—before focus shifted entirely to vertical construction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A landmark building can attract headlines, but it is the surrounding district that creates sustained economic exchange. Residents require markets and transport access; offices depend on uninterrupted utilities; hotels rely on robust supply chains and visitors.\u003Cbr \u002F>\nWithout functional surrounding infrastructure, even the most prestigious address risks becoming an expensive white elephant.\u003Cbr \u002F>\nSaudi Diversification vs. Uganda’s Economic Realities\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The revival of Jeddah Tower fits squarely within Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, a sweeping state strategy to diversify the economy away from heavy hydrocarbon reliance by boosting tourism, real estate, logistics, and private sector participation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Uganda operates with very different fiscal resources, capital markets, and population needs, the core principles of master planning remain directly applicable:\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Plan entire districts rather than approving isolated, standalone structures.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Build utility and transport capacity before fully populating commercial hubs.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Coordinate private capital with targeted public infrastructure investments.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Establish predictable regulatory conditions to attract long-term, patient capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Uganda’s Construction Sector as an Economic Engine\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The construction sector in Uganda continues to be a formidable driver of domestic growth, expanding by double digits in recent years on the back of public roads, real estate developments, and energy infrastructure.\u003Cbr \u002F>\nConstruction is far more than a consumer of cement, steel, glass, and manual labor. When managed effectively, it upgrades domestic engineering standards, expands logistics networks, boosts building-material manufacturing, and creates structured environments where informal businesses can transition into high-productivity enterprises.\u003Cbr \u002F>\nYet, the true value of construction must not be exaggerated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jobs generated during the build phase are often temporary, heavy reliance on imported materials can drain local currency, and poorly situated commercial spaces frequently sit vacant.\u003Cbr \u002F>\nDevelopers and government authorities must measure real-world economic outcomes—such as long-term employment, tenant occupancy rates, business trading volumes, and local vendor participation—rather than simple square metres built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>What Uganda Must Build First\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Kampala and expanding urban centres across Uganda, the most transformative investments are rarely headline-grabbing supertall towers. Instead, the priority lies in functional, high-yield urban infrastructure:\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Organised Commercial Markets: Built with proper loading bays, storage, fire safety, sanitation, and clean circulation for small traders.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Logistics & Warehousing Hubs: Designed to cut agricultural post-harvest losses, streamline trade, and reduce freight transport times.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Reliable Power & Utility Networks: Enabling light manufacturing, processing plants, and commercial traders to scale operations continuously.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Modern Transport Interchanges: Seamlessly connecting workers, consumers, and goods across growing urban corridors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Commercial towers certainly have a role where genuine market demand exists for office, retail, or hospitality space. However, high-density buildings succeed only when integrated into functioning roads, public transport, reliable power grids, and realistic rental models.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The High Cost of Delays and Unpredictable Regulation\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jeddah Tower’s multi-year pause offers a stark warning about the cost of friction. Capital-intensive projects suffer heavily from delays: debt interest continues to mount, equipment deteriorates, material prices inflate, and expected revenues are postponed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Uganda, this highlights the urgent need to streamline development approvals and dispute resolution:\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Predictable Clearances: Investors require clear, published regulatory standards, transparent timelines, and consistent enforcement from urban authorities.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Public Safety & Accountability: Regulatory oversight must balance efficiency with strict adherence to structural safety, environmental protection, and proper spatial planning.\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Developer Responsibility:\u003Cbr \u002F>\nPrivate developers must meet legal standards—securing proper permits, ensuring worker safety, respecting property lines, and designing adequate fire and emergency access.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>From Property Ownership to Productive Institutions\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the heart of Uganda’s development debate is the transition from owning individual assets to building durable institutions that generate continuous value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A commercial complex can house hundreds of enterprises, but its lasting economic impact depends on structured facility management, regular maintenance, and accessible access roads. A manufacturing facility is merely a collection of machines unless backed by skills training, reliable vendor networks, and expanding markets.\u003Cbr \u002F>\nRobust institutions outlive individual founders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Transparent tenancy models, professional corporate governance, predictable regulation, and skilled management preserve enterprise value across generations. Without these systems, even impressive physical developments remain fragile and exposed to financial distress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>The Ultimate Business Test\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every major infrastructure or property investment in Uganda should be put to a simple, practical test:\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– How many permanent jobs will it support after the construction workers leave?\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– What percentage of materials and services are sourced from local businesses?\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Does the project make it easier and cheaper for small and medium enterprises to trade?\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Are tenancy rates affordable and backed by real market demand?\u003Cbr \u002F>\n– Who pays for long-term maintenance, security, and utility operations?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Building for Generations to Come\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a young population and rapid urban growth, the decisions made today by Uganda’s entrepreneurs, property developers, and policymakers will shape the economy for decades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Tower showcases both the thrilling possibilities of bold engineering and the practical risks of financing disruptions and execution delays.
