| President John Magufuli in a conversation with the former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, who visited him at State House in Dar es Salaam on Tuesday. |
According to a press statement issued on Tuesday by the Directorate of Presidential Communications, the former Nigerian president said Magufuli also deserved praise for throwing his weight in properly supervising the country’s economy.
Obasanjo, one of Africa’s respected persons, issued his congratulatory message when he met and held talks with President Magufuli yesterday at State House in Dar es Salaam.
The former president hailed President Magufuli for his efforts to attract Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs) by inviting investors and businesspersons from all corners of the world but with a strict sense of ensuring that both parties benefit.
He said that it was sad to see African countries registering little benefits from investments with investors taking almost everything. “I have visited several African countries, including Malawi and Mozambique and today I am in Tanzania.
In all places I have visited my major topic has been on economy. We must ensure we benefit from investments,” the Nigerian statesman said. He added: “Tanzania’s economy is on the right track.
President Magufuli’s efforts to ensure the country benefits from investments are highly commendable. He has shown a good example to be emulated by other African leaders.”
The former Nigeria president said African leaders should not accept to leave everything to investors. Meanwhile, President Magufuli has accepted the resignation of High Court Judge Mwendwa Judith Malecela.
According to the statement issued on Tuesday by the Directorate of Presidential Communications, President Magufuli accepted the resignation of the judge with effect from Tuesday.
Malecela becomes the third judge to resign in less than two months. On May 15, Judge Aloysius Mujulizi and Lady Justice Upendo Msuya tendered their resignations to President Magufuli.
