Samia Suluhu Hassan wins the trophy


Tanzanian president Samia Suluhu Hassan has been named the winner of the Africa Road Builders–Babacar Ndiaye Trophy for 2022. The prize is awarded to decision makers and other prominent figures in Africa who have demonstrated their commitment to the development of transport infrastructure on the continent.

 

The committee noted the USD 290 million provided by the African Development Bank to support the revitalisation of road, rail and air transport in Tanzania.

 

It also took into account the USD 172.2 million contract signed with China Corporation Limited to supply the country with 1,430 modern freight wagons. Finally, the committee noted the official start of construction on the historic project to build an outer ring road around the city of Dodoma. (cj)
