URA FC midfield sensation Godfrey Ssekibengo has joined Bukedea Comprehensive School, ahead of the forthcoming District, Zonal and Nationals and the East Africa Schools' Championships.
Ssekibengo has thrown St. Henry's Kitovu in the bin, having featured and excelled with them last year, to join the school owned by the Speaker of Parliament Anita Among Magogo.
URA head coach David Obua let the cat out of the bag, confirming the developments; "Sseki (Ssekibengo) had to go to Among's school. We had to leave him to go," he told the club media.
"He's one of my young players, very talented. I don't know why he's going to Anita's school, he should have gone to a school in Lira," Obua joked.

A third historical derby in three East African countries for Taddeo Lwanga
This will make it his third historical derby appearance, having played in games of the same stature in Tanzania and Uganda.
"I had talked to him to join a school in Amolatar or Lira. Sseki has gone to Anita's school, we wish him well."
Ssekibengo was a revelation at last year’s national school football championships, where he led Kitovu to the final, losing out to St. Mary’s Secondary School Kitende.
The attacking midfielder, alongside his schoolmates John Innocent Kisolo and Amisi Bwangani, earned themselves long-term contracts with the Tax Collectors.
Meanwhile, Bukedea Comprehensive won the bid to host the 2024 Federation of East Africa Secondary School Association games.
The school outcompeted a joint bid from Jinja SSS and Jinja College and another from Namilyango.
