Minister Nakiwala Kiyingi is taking a stand on the education of Pretty Nicole, the young internet sensation whose life has been marred by scandal and struggle.
The State Minister for Youth and Children Affairs has committed to ensuring that Nicole, who dropped out of school several years ago, returns to her studies until she reaches the age of 18.
Minister Nakiwala expressed disappointment over young girls like Nicole choosing not to utilize educational opportunities.
“It’s heartbreaking to see young girls facing such hardships when they have the option to go back to school and secure a better future,” she remarked.

Nicole, who became an online sensation after an incident in which she was beaten for allegedly trying to steal a friend’s boyfriend, has since gained attention for various controversies.
Her mother revealed that Nicole stopped attending school after becoming influenced by friends who strayed her away from her studies. Despite promises from well-wishers like Hajjat Kulthum, who offered to sponsor her education, Nicole has consistently refused to return to school since completing primary level.
Minister Nakiwala is determined to change that. She emphasized that the government is willing to intervene if Nicole’s parents are unable to encourage her to return to school.
“I promise Pretty Nicole will return to school. She’s not in a position to make such decisions yet, and if her parents can’t, the government will step in. We don’t want to see young girls struggling when they have the opportunity to build a better future,” she stated firmly.
