Bahi shines in education project delivery

DODOMA: BAHI District Council in Dodoma Region has been commended for the timely and high-quality execution of education sector projects, successfully completing them within the allocated budget.

The commendation was made by Dodoma Regional Commissioner (RC) Rosemary Senyamule during her recent official tour to inspect the implementation of ongoing education projects in the district.

“I would like to congratulate Bahi, especially considering the funds were only released late in June. Many councils struggled to utilise them due to system challenges. However, you started using the funds in August and what we see now is significant progress achieved in just one month,” said Ms Senyamule.

The Regional Commissioner also commended technicians and the head teacher for effective supervision of the education projects, enabling the district to stay ahead of others that are still in the procurement or foundation stages.

“But you have been serious and reached this stage. I urge you to complete the projects within the scheduled time. Keep it up until the schools are completed,” she emphasised.

Presenting the progress report on the new primary school construction, Mpamatwa Secondary School Head Teacher, Mr Sulusi Eliezer, said the project has stimulated social and economic development in the surrounding area.

“This project has created various temporary jobs for local residents,” he said, adding that the construction will cost 302m/- upon completion.

In a related development, Ms Senyamule also hailed NMB Bank for its continued support in constructing an inclusive secondary school for students with special needs, valued at over 3bn/-.

The project, currently at 86 per cent completion, is being implemented by SUMA JKT. For his part, Bahi District Commissioner, Mr Joachim Nyingo, thanked NMB Bank for selecting Bahi as the site for the school, noting that it is the only one being built under the bank’s sponsorship.
