The materials handed over include 500 bags of cement and 13,335 bricks promising to look into the possibility of dishing out more support for the project in the future.
In a brief handover ceremony of the materials in Chato recently, the Bank's Manager for the Lake Zone, Abraham Augustino said the support reflects the bank’s recognition of the importance of sports in the promotion of good health among the people particularly the youth.
"This is in line with the Bank's annual commitment to the public through its Corporate and Social Investment program which has spent over TZS 900 million for different projects countrywide so far," said Mr Augustino.
Receiving the items, the Chato District Commissioner, Charles Kabeho and Chato District Executive Director (DED), Eliud Mwaiteleke expressed gratitude to partners like NMB for coming forward to support sports development in the district.
DC Kabeho said the construction of the stadium was part of the initiatives targeting to boost sports development among other strategic programs in the district.
On his side DED Mwaiteleke hinted that the 3,000 capacity stadium would lead to bigger sports facilities in the future remaining optimistic that giants like Simba, Young Africans, Azam and others may one day use it when on transit for Premier league encounters.
"We look forward to hosting football giants like Simba and Young Africans who might decide to camp and train here as they travel for Premier league games. We ask for other supporters to join NMB and help us to complete the construction of this stadium," he said.
