Africa-Press<\/a> – Tanzania<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>THE United Nations General Assembly has paid tribute to the late President John Magufuli, describing him as a noted proponent of infrastructure development and industrialisation, which are vital tools for economic advancement.<\/p>\n

According to the UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres\u2019s remarks, the late President Magufuli sought to expand access to social services and tackle corruption.<\/p>\n

He said Tanzania reached its ambition of becoming a middle-income country 4 years ahead of its 2025 goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are gathered today to honour the memory of Dr John Magufuli, the late President of the United Republic of Tanzania. As we convey our condolences to the government and people of the United Republic of Tanzania, we also recognise the service of President Magufuli,\u201d noted Mr Guterres.<\/p>\n

He added that the late president also helped strengthen the education system and increase enrolment rates of new students into secondary schools.<\/p>\n

The UN Secretary said the late Dr Magufuli\u2019s administration improved rural electrification in the country, with ambitions to expand Tanzania\u2019s electricity generation capacity to enable nationwide energy access.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the United Nations, I once again offer our condolences to the late president\u2019s family, the government and people of the United Republic of Tanzania,\u201d remarked Mr Guterres.<\/p>\n

Moreover, the UN Assembly expressed recognition to the country\u2019s long history of support for multilateralism and applauded its dedication to international and regional cooperation.<\/p>\n

Mr Guterres said the UN Assembly reiterates its commitment of continuing to work closely with President Samia Suluhu Hassan, saying the UN stands with Tanzania in advancing sustainable development.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take this opportunity to reiterate and reinforce the commitment of the United Nations to continue working closely with his successor, President Samia Suhulu Hassan, the country\u2019s first female President. We stand with the people of Tanzania to advance sustainable development and support their aspirations for a prosperous Tanzania for all,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

On his part, the Permanent Representative of Tanzania to the UN, Prof Kennedy Gastorn said the late President Magufuli was a towering figure who inspired many across the world, and spoke truth to power, and did so through tough love and in the tradition of humility.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201che will always stand out as an unrelenting and a hard-working leader, a true patriot and great statesman with a humble and selfless disposition,\u201d Prof Gastorn told the UN Assembly that the late Dr Magufuli was a paragon of virtues, an economic national who believed unapologetically on self-development.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr Magufuli was a visionary leader and an ardent Pan Africanist who believed that Tanzania, Africans and the entire humanity deserved the best,\u201d said Prof Gastorn.<\/p>\n

Dr Magufuli (61) died on March 17 at Mzena Hospital in Dar es Salaam and was buried on March 26 in his home village of Chato in Geita region.<\/p>\n

President Samia Suluhu Hassan, who took over following the death of her predecessor, said that Dr Magufuli died from heart condition that he had struggled with for the past 10 years.<\/p>\n

Magufuli\u2019s deep affection to the country prompted his government to undertake various development projects and institute changes that have brought tangible results to the nation, among others achieving the middle income status vision ahead of schedule.<\/p>\n

The late Dr Magufuli has been described as an iconic leader and a statesman who did much for the country and who always desired nothing but the best for his country and Africa.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
