NMB CONTRIBUTES TZS 50 MIL. TO BUNGE BOYS SECONDARY SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION

NMB Bank has presented a cheque of 50 million Tanzanian Shillings to Deputy Prime Minister Dr. Dotto Biteko to support the construction of the Bunge Boys Secondary School during the NMB Bunge Sports Bonanza at John Merlin Secondary School grounds in Dodoma.

Receiving the cheque, Dr. Biteko expressed that the donation will bolster the legislators' efforts in constructing the school, following the completion of the Bunge Girls Secondary School.

Dr. Biteko praised the bank's commitment to supporting Tanzanians in developmental activities, including sports, highlighting the Bank’s contribution of various sports equipment and other necessities during the NMB Bunge Bonanza.

“I commend NMB for their generosity in allocating part of their profits to assist us. Do not hesitate to continue supporting us in the future when needed. I also urge other stakeholders to back this crucial school project for our youth,” Dr. Biteko stated.

Discussing the Bonanza's theme on Electoral Participation, the Deputy Minister urged Tanzanians not to take the issue lightly, emphasizing that governance starts at the grassroots before reaching the national level and hence everyone is obliged to participate in the coming Local government elections.

NMB Bank’s Chief Financial Officer, Juma Kimori handed over the cheque on behalf of the Bank's Chief Executive Officer, Ruth Zaipuna, who is currently abroad on other duties.

Kimori assured that the bank would continue its community contributions to support the Sixth Phase Government’s efforts and the various initiatives driven by the legislators in their constituencies.

“We have consistently supported matters of Health, Education, and Disaster Response. We will keep collaborating to drive development across communities, aiming to reach every Tanzanian,” Kimori assured.

Speaking during the event, Speaker of the Parliament of the United republic of Tanzania, Hon. Dr. Tulia Ackson, acknowledged NMB's steadfast support and their contributions to individual constituencies.

Hon. Dr. Tulia emphasized the need for continued collaboration with NMB in addressing various challenges while promoting the appropriate use of banking services across all community levels, including rural areas.

The NMB Bunge Bonanza Chairman, Hon. Festo Sanga noted that apart from sponsoring the Bonanza, NMB also demonstrated competitive prowess by defeating the strong Parliamentary Football Team with a 3-0 victory.

Sanga emphasized that sports participation among Tanzanians enhances health, reducing medical expenses and building well-being to combat non-communicable diseases.
