TAKING advantage of the diverse projects continuing to be implemented by the Government in Dodoma Capital City can assist the residents in the region to cheat poverty.
The Regional Commissioner (RC) for Dodoma, Ms Rosemary Senyemule challenged the residents in the fast- growing region to make a fruitful use of the economic projects that the Government is implemented in the region to improve their economic welfare.
“The Government is executing an array of major economic projects in Dodoma, and many others are expecting to commence in this year (2025), which is a prestigious opportunity for the citizens in the region to expand their livelihoods,” she said.
Ms Senyemule made the comments during a speech to religious leaders at the national prayer vigil in Dodoma.
Standing in for President Samia Suluhu Hassan at the event, Ms Senyemule urged citizens to utilise existing and upcoming opportunities to improve their lives and overcome economic challenges.
She stressed that it would be meaningless if the government invested in infrastructure and income-generating projects, only for people to remain in poverty despite having access to the potential resources.
“The existing investments in infrastructure enable individuals to earn income, whether by starting businesses or working on the projects. I urge you to take advantage of the opportunities,” she said.
Ms Senyemule also called on the public to pray for the upcoming general elections in 2025, ensuring peace and justice prevail, and that the country elects leaders who will serve all Tanzanians regardless of their political affiliation.

“In 2025, we will have the presidential, parliamentary, and local elections, so each of us must take responsibility and pray for peace and fair elections,” she said.
She further urged parents and guardians to ensure that children who are of school going age are not left at home but are enrolled to exercise their basic right to education.
The chairman of the National prayer vigil, Archbishop Dr. Godfrey Malasi of the Tanzania Fellowship of Churches (TFC), said the purpose of the event was to give thanks for the past year and pray for the new year, 2025.
“Another goal is to encourage Tanzanians to pray together for the upcoming elections and for the spiritual, social, and economic development of our nation, as well as to demonstrate our unity as a peaceful and stable country,” he said
