UDASA Newsletter - First Issue May 2021

Dear reader Welcome to the UDASA chair’s desk. First, I extend condolences to all Tanzanians for losing our president, the late Dr John Pombe Joseph Magufuli, who passed away on 17th March 2021 from heart failure. I, together with all UDASA members convey our heartfelt condolences to the Magufuli family and all Tanzanians for the loss of the president of the United Republic of Tanzania. Similarly, I take this opportunity to wish all departed ones from the UDASA ranks a farewell in their journey through to the stars. We will miss their contributions to UDASA and the nation at large. However, we will keep up the tradition of educating the nations and Africa’s young minds. Secondly, I extend congratulations to our President, H.E. Samia Suluhu Hassan, for becoming the first female President of Tanzania. This is a historic moment indeed. In the same vein, I extend the congratulations to the Vice President, H.E. Dr Philip Isdor Mpango, for being appointed and confirmed as the Vice President. These congratulations go to Prime Minister and all the permanent secretaries and cabinet ministers for their appointments to serve the government.
