\nAfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> THE Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania (ELCT) has showered praise on President John Pombe Magufuli following the nation\u2019s elevation to lower-middle income\u00a0 status country.<\/p>\n

ELCT\u2019s Head Bishop, Dr Fredrick Shoo, attributed the country\u2019s feat to Dr Magufuli\u2019s tireless and selfless efforts in improving the welfare of Tanzanians since he assumed office in 2015.<\/p>\n

Dr Shoo, who was responding to a question posed to him by this writer, described President Magufuli as a selfless leader, worth\u00a0 of emulation by all around the world.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe (ELCT) are all happy with the World Bank\u2019s recognition as we can finally stand tall in the region, thanks to President Magufuli\u2019s vision,\u201d the senior and highly respected cleric said.<\/p>\n

The World Bank\u2019s decision, according to Dr Shoo, goes to show how the President lived up to his promise of transforming the country into a middle income economy, come 2025 and that he proved his doubters wrong, five years on.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen he was elected five years ago, this was among his first promises to Tanzanians, much as there existed some naysayers, the President maintained his stance and here are we today,\u201d explained the ELCT Head.<\/p>\n

Dr Shoo, who was gracing the handing over of Personal protective equipment (PPEs) and other medications to 24 health facilities under ELCT\u2019s umbrella, urged Tanzanians to shun corruption and embrace good leadership traits exhibited by President Magufuli.<\/p>\n

The World Bank had mid this week, categorised Tanzania as a lower-middle income country after the country made economic reforms, including making consistent plans and taking hard decisions aimed at improving its economic development.<\/p>\n

Tanzania entered into the\u00a0 bracket with a Gross National Income ranging between $1,006 and $3,955 per World\u2019s Bank 2018 classification, making the country the second within the East African Community (EAC) to attain such a feat.<\/p>\n

Last year, the country recorded an economic growth of seven per cent, making the country one of the fastest growing economies in Africa.<\/p>\n

Earlier on, the ELCT through the ACT Alliance, donated PPEs and other medications to 24 medical facilities around the country.<\/p>\n

The equipment which cost around 100m\/-, will be distributed equally to the health facilities according to Dr Paul Mbando, a Palliative Care Manager with ELCT.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe PPEs will be distributed to the medical staff while the medicines will be given to patients, especially those under palliative care,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n

According to Dr Mbando, the handing over of the PPEs and medications was ELCT\u2019s gesture of complementing the government\u2019s efforts of preventing further spread of Covid-19 .<\/p>\n

\u201cThe patients who visited our hospitals weren\u2019t turned away despite the pandemic,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
