Presidential pavilion launched, VP stresses care
DAR ES SALAAM: VICE-PRESIDENT Ambassador Dr Emmanuel Nchimbi has called on the public to safeguard, preserve and ensure the proper use of infrastructures being developed for the benefit of both present and future generations.
The VP said the various infrastructure projects visible today have involved substantial costs and are the result of collective efforts and contributions by all Tanzanians.
Dr Nchimbi made the remarks yesterday in Dar es Salaam, during the inauguration of a state-of-the-art Presidential Pavilion constructed specifically for receiving Heads of State and Very Very Important Persons (VVIPs) stressing that the government will continue to invest heavily in infrastructures across different sectors, particularly transport.
The world-class facility is located at Terminal One of the Julius Nyerere International Airport (JNIA) in Dar es Salaam.
“I call upon the Tanzania Airports Authority (TAA) to exercise strict oversight over the use of this facility, ensure it is properly maintained and preserve its quality and standards, so that it continues to provide high-quality services over a long period for the broader benefit of the nation,” said Dr Nchimbi.

He said that the pavilion, which is uniquely the first of its kind in East Africa, presents a significant opportunity to enhance the country’s image, strengthen diplomacy and promote international relations.
Dr Nchimbi further said that, alongside the completion of the facility, the sixth phase government remains fully committed to implementing various sectoral development projects as outlined in the National Development Vision 2050 and the 2025 Chama Cha Mapinduzi Election Manifesto.
He said the government will continue to improve infrastructures and services at airports, on roads, in maritime transport and in the railway sector, while also strengthening the services of Air Tanzania Company Limited (ATCL).
“These efforts aim to improve domestic and international connectivity, reduce transport costs and enhance Tanzania’s economy and international trade,” he said.
The Vice-President said, the government is also advancing the integration of airport, road, water and railway services in line with the implementation of a multi-modal transport system as directed by President Samia Suluhu Hassan.
