NIT\u2019s Rector, Professor Zacharia Mganilwa said that their vision is to become a centre for excellence in logistics, management and transport technology and commitment to produce competent graduates, particularly in the transport sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur aim is to produce graduates who are not only ready for demanding jobs, but who will have the skills and the drive to act as entrepreneurs for creation of new jobs,\u201d Prof Mganilwa said during the 8th Convocation ceremony held recently in Dar es Salaam.<\/p>\n

The Rector highlighted that graduates at NIT are expected to participate in addressing community needs and challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026be generous with your knowledge and your time, and imagine how you can collaborate to bring about the change that is necessary in our societies,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tanzania Shipping Agencies Corporation (TASAC), Director General, Mr Kaimu Mkeyenge said NIT is growing rapidly and its core mandate is directly linked to the development of the national strategic projects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis achievement could not be possible without the dynamic leadership of both the management and the Governing Council of NIT,\u201d Mr Mkeyenge said.<\/p>\n

Mkeyenge also congratulated the best students and graduands, who devoted their time and effort to learn to achieve this culminating stage.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are now ready to step into the world where you are supposed to use the knowledge you have acquired to attain professional success and contribute to national development.<\/p>\n

Remember that you will have the chance to learn at every stage of life because learning is a life-long process,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He also noted that according to United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) 2018, favourable economic growth prospects for the East and Southern Africa region will result in increased trade flows.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis puts significant pressure on Tanzania\u2019s port and transport infrastructure,\u201d Mr Mkeyenge said, while suggesting the need to address trade gaps through interventions, which need to balance between infrastructure investment and institutional reform aspects.<\/p>\n

Mr Mkeyenge stressed that investment in maritime transport infrastructure however needs a comprehensive maritime policy which, unfortunately, Tanzania does not have at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cTASAC is bracing itself towards having a comprehensive maritime policy so that maritime and maritime transport experts like you will have a platform on which to base their planning in the maritime sector,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
