VP Samia for Uganda next week to seal pact on crude oil pipeline
VICE President Samia Suluhu Hassan is on Monday expected to leave the country for Uganda to sign another vital agreement for the official beginning of the construction of the crude oil pipeline from Hoima in Uganda to Tanga in Tanzania.
Finalising her four-day official tour in Tanga Region, VP Samia said that on March 22, she is going to Uganda to seal the pact for the long-awaited crude oil pipeline project to kick off; noting that the venture would provide a big relief to Tanzanians particularly Tanga residents, who will benefit in different ways.
In September last year, President Magufuli and his Ugandan counterpart Yoweri Museveni signed an agreement that set the ball rolling for the construction of a 7.4trn/- crude oil pipeline running from Ugandan oilfields to Tanga.
The two presidents signed the agreement to intentionally implement the project which upon completion will see Tanzania earn 7.5trn/- and create more than 10,000 to 15 direct jobs over the next 25 years.
During the event, VP Samia delivered greetings from President John Magufuli to the people of Tanga.
In his message, VP Samia said president Magufuli wants the people of Tanga to work hard in their undertakings mostly the production of Sisal which is now marketable globally.
Through the Vice president, the Head of State also thanked the people of Tanga for the support and votes that they gave him during the General Election last year which gave him a victory of about 85-percent.
“The president asked me to tell you that you should work hard and focus more on what you are doing to ensure our country remains peaceful as usual,” he said.
Speaking further on the developments in Tanga VP Samia detailed that in the last five years the government constructed 22 heath centres, five dispensaries as well as the construction of an emergency ward and dialysis unit at Tanga referral hospital Bombo in which 77.4bn/- has been spent.
Another project was the construction of roads within Tanga Region which upon completion will ease transportation of goods especially crops.
During the tour, the Vice President launched various development projects including factories among others.
