Youth urged to tap opportunities from country’s resources

KILIMANJARO: YOUTHS have been counselled to take advantage of the country’s resources to establish projects that will create new jobs and boost their incomes.

This was said by the 2024 Uhuru Torch Race leader Mr Godfrey Mzava during the Uhuru Torch rally in Rombo District in the Kilimanjaro Region at the weekend.

“The government has continued to put a conducive investment environment for local and foreign investors to invest in various fields,” he said.

Mr Mzava said projects run and managed by local young people have been a springboard for other Tanzanians to come up with ideas to create new opportunities through existing resources.

He hailed the Rock Blocks Company engaging in rock bricks production for being a role model to others and has now become the source of employment opportunities.

“We have witnessed the production of bricks from blocks as well as other rock-based products; these young people are doing a very good job,” he said.

The Rock Blocks Limited’s Director Mr Fabian Woiso said the production of the rock blocks and other products by the company continued to grow alongside that of the demands from clients.

“When we established this business in 2013, we were producing 30,000 rock bricks a month, today we are producing more than 200,000 rock bricks a month,” he said.

According to him, they pay various taxes and fees to the government as well as providing job opportunities to more than 200 job
