As we speak, the Ugandan government through its Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development, has allocated land in Mukono to the American rapper to start setting up his Akon City.

The government last year said through the Ministry of Lands that it would give Akon a place suitable in Uganda that has not less than 1 square mile.

News coming in now shows that the Uganda Land Commission yesterday handed over a land title to Lands Minister Judith Nabakooba for the land which has been allocated to Akon for the Akon City development.

According to the reports, the allocated land that was allocated for the developments is located in Mpunge sub-county in Mukono district.

It should be noted that Akon has for years been trying to set up development in his native country Senegal.

According to Akon, the city will have different developments like shopping malls, cinema halls, stadiums and recreational centers, and these will be operating in cryptocurrency, Akoin.

According to Akon, the development is expected to be completed, if all goes well, by 2036.
