DODOMA: VICE-President Dr Philip Mpango is expected to officially open the Nane Nane exhibitions today at the Nzuguni grounds in Dodoma, with organisers calling on the public to attend in large numbers.

The week-long exhibitions, which run through August 8, aim to showcase innovations and best practices in agriculture, livestock and fisheries, while promoting learning, networking and business opportunities in the sector.

This year’s event has drawn broad participation, with representatives from eight African countries confirmed to take part, alongside over 640 agricultural stakeholders from across Tanzania already registered.

Speaking ahead of the official opening, Dodoma District Commissioner Alhaj Jabir Shekimweri commended President Samia Suluhu Hassan for her leadership and investment in upgrading the exhibition infrastructure.
