@SuluhuSamia Asante, kwa kumupa heshima kiongozi wetu. Raisi Kagame anafaa kuigwa na maraisi wote wa Afrika Mashariki na bara lote la Afrika. Nikiongozi wa kusema na kutenda.

Leo, Ikulu jijini Dar es Salaam, nimempokea Rais wa Jamhuri ya Rwanda, Mheshimiwa Paul Kagame, aliyewasili nchini kwa ziara ya kikazi ya siku moja. Tanzania na Rwanda si tu ndugu na majirani, bali pia ni washirika wa kimkakati wenye uhusiano unaoendelea kukua kwa kasi. Takribani asilimia 70 ya shehena ya Rwanda inapitia katika bandari za Tanzania. Biashara kati ya nchi zetu mbili imefikia shilingi bilioni 644 mwaka 2025, na uwekezaji kutoka pande zote mbili unaendelea kuchochea ajira na ukuaji wa uchumi kwa wananchi wetu. Katika mazungumzo yetu, tumekubaliana kuongeza kasi ya ushirikiano kwa kuondoa vikwazo visivyo vya kikodi, kuimarisha biashara na uwekezaji, na kuwekeza zaidi katika miundombinu ya usafiri na usafirishaji, mawasiliano, pamoja na nishati ya uhakika. Aidha, tutaimarisha ushirikiano katika masuala ya ulinzi, usalama na ajenda za kikanda na kimataifa. Karibu tena Tanzania, Mheshimiwa Rais.

In addition, the University made a further contribution to the Edified Generation Scholarship Programme, that will grant over 100 students access to quality education .

In partnership with @fojo_int , MKU hosted a 3-day training on stress and trauma management in journalism for Mass Media and Communication students. Students explored key topics from understanding burnout to building trauma-informed newsrooms, gaining essential skills to thrive in today’s demanding media environment. Because impactful journalism goes beyond storytelling, it requires responsibility, integrity, and a strong sense of ethical awareness.

It isn't just H.E Rigathi Gachagua @rigathi that is having fun with the political elites from NFD. Even young girls from Karatina see the sad state of the North. @WehliyeMohamed @AbdikadirMohami @BillowKerrow
