Okhuti is an influential football figure in the West Nile region having started in the local community clubs before playing for Ediofe Hills in the top flight.

He also featured for Onduparaka and Arua Hill, two of the most prominent sides in the region currently.

In a related development, FUFA has identified three venues for West Nile Province FUFA Drum games amidst concerns over the diversity of the team.

The identified venues are; Paridi Stadium -Adjumani (Madi sub-region), Luo Grounds -Nebbi (Alur sub-region), and Ababet Greenlight stadium-Arua City (Lugbara sub-region).

West Nile are the defending champions after edging Lango Province 3-2 over two legs last year.
